# Calculating the Days

Knowing the number of days between two dates is frequently necessary for calculating interest, apportioning expenditures, or calculating average use of items. We are also interested in the more trivia type questions such as how many days before an important date, how many days between certain historical dates, and even how many days we have lived.
