26 paychecks |
2009-01-21 |
|
From Kenneth: Hello:
If someone is paid every two weeks, he receives 26 paychecks per year, (52 weeks/year)divided by (2 weeks/1 check) equals 26 paychecks per year.
However, if the calculation uses days instead of weeks, the answer is not exactly 26 paychecks. For example, 365 days divided by 14 days per paycheck
equals 26 1/14 paychecks. Fourteen days is equivalent to two weeks, isn't it?
Why is there this fractional amount of 1/14 of a paycheck? Answered by Robert Dawson and Victoria West. |
