Method and limitations
To convert weeks to days, multiply the week value by 7. There are exactly 7 days in one week. Calculations use full-precision constants; displayed values are rounded to at most 9 significant figures. Results are rounded for display only. Full precision is kept internally, so long chains of conversions do not accumulate rounding error. Where US customary and imperial units share a name (for example fluid ounces and gallons), this page uses the US customary definition and says so explicitly.
Each factor is exact by definition, derived from exact definitions, or a documented conventional value — see the methodology and sources.

Pro Tips for Accurate Conversions
Month approximation
4 weeks ≈ 28 days, which is shorter than most months (30-31 days). Don't equate 4 weeks to a month.
Year calculation
52 weeks = 364 days, one day short of a year. Account for this in annual planning.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Assuming 4 weeks = 1 month
Most months have 30-31 days, but 4 weeks is only 28 days.
For monthly calculations, use calendar days (30 or 31) rather than weeks × 7.
History & Background
The seven-day week has origins in ancient Babylon and was adopted by many cultures, including Judaism and later Christianity, making it nearly universal.
Global Usage Today
The seven-day week is used worldwide, though the "first day" varies (Sunday in US, Monday in Europe, Saturday in some Middle Eastern countries).
