What is being measured?
Time here is an elapsed duration. Fixed-duration units do not automatically represent calendar months, leap years or timezone changes.
Listed units are fixed durations. Calendar months and years are excluded because their lengths depend on the calendar.
Meaning of wk
weeks uses the symbol wk in this library and measures time. Under the stated reference convention, 1 wk = approximately 604800 s. This equivalence changes how a known value is written. It does not increase measurement accuracy or establish whether a measurement is appropriate to a real application.
Conversion method
Multiply the value by the source factor (604800), then divide by the target factor (1). The factor ratio expresses the same time measurement in the other unit.
Worked example
For a known value of 10 wk, the reference conversion gives 6048000 s. Converting that result back gives approximately 10 wk. This reverse check helps catch a reversed factor, but matching round-trip arithmetic alone does not independently verify a source definition.

| 25 | 15120000 |
| 50 | 30240000 |
| 100 | 60480000 |

Precision and common mistakes
- Keep the source and target quantity consistent. A matching symbol is not enough to establish a compatible definition.
- Record the original measurement precision. Showing twelve significant digits in a table does not make a rounded input more precise.
- Check symbol capitalization, prefixes and any regional convention in the source. Use the displayed unit definition rather than a similarly named unit.
- Factors involving repeating fractions or π use finite numerical precision. Round the final answer to the precision justified by your input.
