how many minutes in a year

365 d/y * 24 h/d * 60 min/h

how come when i search on google it gives me 525949 as the asners

no idea

if you asked for seconds it would be

31,536,000

i put in how many minutes in a year?

perhaps there are a little more than 365 days in a year ?

I don't understand Google's answer either.

try using 365.25 days

That averages out leap year

That is closer but I suspect Google has it more accurately than 365.25

I bet you want the original answer and not the correct Google answer though
