Conversion Formula
The formula to convert days into weeks is quite simple: divide the number of days by 7. Since a week always contains 7 days, dividing the total days by 7 gives the equivalent number of weeks.
Why this works, is because weeks are just a grouping of days. So the conversion just breaks the total days into groups of 7. For example:
- If you have 21 days, divide 21 by 7, which equals 3.
- This means 21 days make 3 weeks.
- In mathematical notation: Weeks = Days ÷ 7.
Conversion Example
- Convert 14 days to weeks:
- Divide 14 by 7.
- 14 ÷ 7 = 2.
- So, 14 days equals 2 weeks.
- Convert 10 days to weeks:
- Divide 10 by 7.
- 10 ÷ 7 ≈ 1.4286.
- Therefore, 10 days is about 1.43 weeks.
- Convert 35 days to weeks:
- Divide 35 by 7.
- 35 ÷ 7 = 5.
- This means 35 days equals 5 weeks.
- Convert 3 days to weeks:
- Divide 3 by 7.
- 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4286.
