To convert a month measurement to a year measurement, divide the time by the conversion ratio.

Since one year is equal to 12 months, you can use this simple formula to convert:

years = months ÷ 12

The time in years is equal to the months divided by 12.

For example, here's how to convert 5 months to years using the formula above.
5 mo = (5 ÷ 12) = 0.416667 yr
