How 1 week converts to days
Every time conversion goes through the second, which is the SI base unit for time. 1 week is 604,800 seconds, and dividing that by the length of one day gives the answer.
1 week = 7 days 1 × 7 = 7
Where 1 week shows up
Seven days, fixed, everywhere, with no leap anything to complicate it. The week is the only common unit of time that never varies in length, and that reliability is also its limitation: seven divides neither 30, 31, 365 nor 366, so the week floats free of the month and the year and never lands in the same place twice. Every scheduling headache in this section, from the 53rd fiscal week to the shifting birthday, comes back to that one fact.
