How to calculate the days between two dates with the hands

There are two methods by which you can calculate the number of days between two dates . The first is simply to count the days in a calendar. The second method uses addition and subtraction to make the calculation. For this method, it is important to know how many days you have each month. Without this information, the calculation will have an error of a day or two, depending on when the two dates in question fall.

Steps to follow:

one

Find the number of days in the month, on the first date. For example, suppose the first date is March 3. March has 31 days.

two

Subtract the number from the day of the first date, from the number of days in the month. In the example, 31 minus 3 equals 28 days.

3

Determine the number of days in the months between the first and second dates. In the example, suppose that the second date is May 10. The number of days in April is 30.

4

Add the days of step 2, step 3 and the day number of the second date to calculate the total number of days between the two dates. In the example, 28 days plus 30 days, plus 10 days, equals 68 days.
