How many hours are in a week?

Calculation of the number of hours in a week

One week equals 60.48 x 10⁴ to the unit of time second. Therefore one week is equal to 604800 seconds and can be expressed as;

1 week = 604800 seconds

One hour is equivalent to 3.6 x 10³ to the unit of time second. Hence one hour equals 3,600 seconds. To determine the number of hours in one week, we divide the number of seconds in one week by the number of seconds in one hour. This can be shown as;

1 week = (604800 seconds ÷ 3600 seconds) hours

= 168 hours

This calculation makes us come to a conclusion that one week is made up of 168 hours.

A simple procedure of the calculation can be; 1 week = 7 days = 7 x 24 hours = 168 hours. Therefore;

1 week = 60.48 × 10⁴ seconds

1 hour = 3.6 × 10³ seconds

1 week = (60.48 / 3.6) × 10⁴ × 10^-3 hours

1 week = (16.8) × 10^4-3 hours

1 week = (16.8) × 10¹ hours

1 week = 16.8 × 10 hours

1 week = 168 hours
