How to Convert Seconds to Decades

To convert a second measurement to a decade measurement, divide the time by the conversion ratio.

Since one decade is equal to 315,569,520 seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:

decades = seconds ÷ 315,569,520

The time in decades is equal to the seconds divided by 315,569,520.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000,000 seconds to decades using the formula above.
500,000,000 sec = (500,000,000 ÷ 315,569,520) = 1.584437 decades

Seconds and decades are both units used to measure time. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
