1 day = 24 hr, 1hr = 60 minutes, 1minute = 60 seconds.

So, x minutes = 60 x seconds;

x hours = 60 x minutes = 3600 x seconds;

x days = 24 x hours = 24×60 x minutes = 24 × 3600 x seconds = 86400 x seconds;

x weeks = 7 x days = 7 × 24 x hours = 7 × 24 × 60 x minutes = 7 × 24 × 3600 x seconds = 6,04,800 x seconds.

Thus in x weeks, x days, x hours, x minutes and x seconds there will be

6,04,800 x + 86400 x + 3600 x + 60 x + x = 694861 x seconds.
