1. What is Age Calculation?

This calculator converts total months into years and months format, which is a more human-readable way to express age or duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses simple division and modulus operations:

\[ \text{Years} = \left\lfloor\frac{\text{Total Months}}{12}\right\rfloor \] \[ \text{Remaining Months} = \text{Total Months} \mod 12 \]

Where:

Total Months — The complete duration in months
Years — The whole number of years
Remaining Months — The leftover months after counting full years

3. Importance of Age Calculation

Details: Converting months to years+months format is important for medical records, child development tracking, and any application where precise age representation matters.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Simply enter the total number of months and the calculator will automatically convert it to years and months format.
