Question

Because computers operate so quickly, developers often measure time in milliseconds (which are 1000th of a second).

Which operation could we perform in order to find the number of milliseconds in a year? *

Answer 1

Answer: This is not an operation per se. But you can define it in the following way.

The operation is 365*24*60*60*1000 = 31536*10^6.

Explanation: A year has 365 days.

Each day has 24 hours.

Each hour has 60 minutes.

Each minute has 60 seconds.

Each second has 1000 millisecond.

Therefore number of milliseconds in a year is

365*24*60*60*1000 = 31536*10^6.
