How many milliseconds are in a year?

Two nights ago, my brother Jasper asked me how many milliseconds are in a year. I just had to find out so I took out my pencil and paper and started solving. I put all of my problems together in to one big problem. Here is the problem I used. I started with how many days are in a year.











                             365
                     x        24  
                            1460
                 +         7300
                             8760
                     x          60
                               0000
                   +      525600
                            525600
                      x            60
                            000000
                     +   3153000
                          3153000
                  x            1000
                          0000000
                        00000000
                      000000000
                +  3153000000       
                    3153000000
                 








                                                           So over all there are 3,153,000,000 milliseconds in a year.

    Eben,
    Poppie said you are really, really close on your claculations. You are missing it by 6 million milliseconds. But he was impressed with the way you figured it out and so am I. I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
    Love,
