A week is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside, although not strictly part of the Gregorian calendar. In many languages, the days of the week are named after classical planets or gods of a pantheon. Weeks can be defined as any period of seven consecutive days.
Definition of FortnightA fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days, or two weeks. The term is derived from the Old English 'feowertyne niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. Fortnights are used in some cultures as a way to organize the calendar for certain purposes, such as agriculture, and are particularly common in the UK and Commonwealth countries.
| Weeks (wk) | Fortnights (fn) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 wk | 0.25 fn |
| 1 wk | 0.5 fn |
| 1.5 wk | 0.75 fn |
| 2 wk | 1 fn |
| 2.5 wk | 1.25 fn |
| 3 wk | 1.5 fn |
| 3.5 wk | 1.75 fn |
| 4 wk | 2 fn |
| 4.5 wk | 2.25 fn |
| 5 wk | 2.5 fn |
1 wk = 0.5 fn
1 fn = 2 wk
Example 1:
Convert 3 wk to fn:
3 wk = 3 × 0.5 fn = 1.5 fn
Example 2:
Convert 5 wk to fn:
5 wk = 5 × 0.5 fn = 2.5 fn
A brief history of time conversion reveals that measuring periods longer than a week led to the creation of the term 'fortnight', which stands for fourteen nights, or two weeks. The Week to Fortnight Converter continues this tradition, allowing for a modern and digital conversion of weeks into fortnights.
