Conversion Formula
The formula to convert days to months is:
Months = Days ÷ Average Days per Month
The average number of days per month is about 30.44, calculated by dividing 365.25 days in a year by 12 months. Since calendar months vary between 28 to 31 days, this average allows approximating months from days.
Example calculation for 104 days:
- Take 104 days
- Divide by 30.44 days/month: 104 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 3.419
- Result rounds to approximately 3.42 months

- Divide 60 by 30.44
- 60 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 1.972 months
- So, 60 days is about 1.97 months
- Convert 90 days to months:
- Divide 90 by 30.44
- 90 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 2.957 months
- 90 days equals roughly 2.96 months
- Convert 120 days to months:
- Divide 120 by 30.44
- 120 ÷ 30.44 ≈ 3.943 months
- That means 120 days is close to 3.94 months
- Convert 45 days to months:

Conversion Definitions
Days: A day is a unit of time measuring the interval in which Earth completes one full rotation on its axis, roughly 24 hours. It is the base unit for measuring time intervals within calendars and schedules, marking the cycle of light and darkness.
Months: A month is a calendar division based on roughly the period it takes for the moon to orbit Earth, lasting about 28 to 31 days. It is used to organize the year into smaller time segments for planning and record-keeping.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the number of days per month vary, affecting conversions?
Months in the calendar are not uniform; they have 28 to 31 days due to historical reasons and lunar cycles. Because of this, converting days to months cannot be exact without specifying which months are involved. Using an average value (30.44 days) provides an approximate conversion suitable for general calculations.
Can I convert 104 days into months without decimals?
You can round the conversion result, for example, 104 days is about 3.42 months, which rounds to 3 months. But keep in mind this rounding loses precision, so if accuracy matters, decimals should be kept.
Is dividing by 30 always correct to convert days to months?
Dividing by 30 is a simplification that works for rough estimates. The average month length is closer to 30.44 days, accounting for leap years. Using 30.44 yields more precise results when converting days to months.
How to convert months back to days accurately?
To convert months to days, multiply the number of months by the average days per month (30.44). Keep in mind actual days may vary depending on which months you count, so this is an approximation.
Why can’t 104 days be converted exactly into calendar months?
Because calendar months differ in length, 104 days might cover parts of multiple months with varying days. Without specifying the start date and months involved, the conversion remains an approximation based on the average month length.
