Java Arithmetic Operator find the number of years

Question

We would like to write a program that prompts the user to enter the minutes (e.g., 1 billion)

Display the number of years and days for the minutes.

For simplicity, assume a year has 365 days.

Here is a sample run: 

Enter the number of minutes: 1000000000 
1000000000 minutes is approximately 1902 years and 214 days  

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    // Prompt the user to enter the number of minutes
    System.out.print("Enter the number of minutes: ");
    int minutes = input.nextInt();

    //your code /*from  w w  w.j a  v a 2  s .  c o  m*/

    // Display results
    System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is approximately " + years
      + " years and " + days + " days");
  }
}



import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    // Prompt the user to enter the number of minutes
    System.out.print("Enter the number of minutes: ");
    int minutes = input.nextInt();

    // Compute the number of years and days
    int years = minutes / 525600;
    int days = (minutes % 525600) / 1440;

    // Display results
    System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is approximately " + years
      + " years and " + days + " days");
  }
}

Note

The following code shows the steps: 

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] Strings) {

    double minutesInYear = 60 * 24 * 365;

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Enter the number of minutes: ");

    double minutes = input.nextDouble();

    long years = (long) (minutes / minutesInYear);
    int days = (int) (minutes / 60 / 24) % 365;

    System.out.println((int) minutes + " minutes is approximately " + years + " years and " + days + " days");
  }/*ww  w.  j av a2 s . c  om*/
}
