Conversion formula
How to convert 40 months to days?

We know (by definition) that: $1 mo \approx 30.43685 d$

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of days.

\frac{1 mo}{40 mo} \approx \frac{30.43685 d}{x d}

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown $x$ :

x d \approx \frac{40 mo}{1 mo} * 30.43685 d \to x d \approx 1217.474 d

Conclusion: $40 mo \approx 1217.474 d$

40 months is equivalent to 1217.47399593667 days

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 day is equal to 0.000821372779490578 times 40 months.

It can also be expressed as: 40 months is equal to $\frac{1}{0.000821372779490578}$ days.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Months

"A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moons phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months, based on the Moon s orbital period with respect to the Earth-Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the year."

Days

"A day is a unit of time. In common usage, it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime, the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day. Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context, need and convenience. In 1960, the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth, and was designated the SI base unit of time. The unit of measurement day, redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d, is not an SI unit, but is accepted for use with SI. A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds, plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time."
