How long will it take to count to one trillion if I count 1 digit per second 24 hours a day?

Answer 1

31688 years 32 days 1 hour 46 minutes 40 seconds

(using 24 hour day and julian year of 365.25 days - actual time on the gregorian calender will vary slightly)

Answer 2

Let's see: one trillion seconds is 10^12 seconds, so

(10^12 seconds)(1 hr/3600 sec)(1 day/24 hr)(1 year/365 days) equals 31,709.79 years. A long, long time.

Answer 3

1 trillion seconds

Answer 4

a guesstimate; 350000 years at 1 *digit* a second

Answer 5

steve is correct, yes that would be a trillion seconds. I leave it to you to convert this figure into more familiar units of time measurement.

Answer 6

Debbk;
3600sec per hr. x24hrs 734400 secs per day x 1million days 734,400,000,000 you are almost three fourths the way there.

Answer 7

(1*10^12counts(1 sec/count) = 10^12 sec(1min/60 sec) = 16,666,666,667 min(1hr/60 min) = 277,777,778 hr = 11,574,074 days =31,687.3 years, or 31.7 millenia

Answer 8

1000000000000 seconds
or
16666666666 minuites
or
277777777hours
or
11574074 days
or
385802 months
or
32150 years
or
3215 decades
or
about 321 generations
so if u started now you would be done in they year 34156

that is the about average time it would take

Answer 9

Well, are you assuming that it takes you one second to say "one" and one second to say "three hundred fifty four billion, eight hundred ninety seven million, seven hundred forthy nine thousand, two hundred thirty one" ? :-)

Wouldn't you have to assume that the closer to 1 trillion you get, that it will take you longer to say each number in the series?

Answer 10

11574074.074 days at 86400 seconds per day.
