Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 30000000: 50 × 30000000 ≈ 1,500,000,000 s, against the exact 1,577,880,000 s (4.9% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A year is bigger than a second, so the number of seconds must come out larger than the number of years. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
