~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is useful to know

1 day = 24 hours = 24*3600 seconds = 86400 seconds.

To count half a million dollar ($500,000), you need 500000%2F2 = 250000 seconds, according to the condition.

Now you need to find how many days are in 250000 seconds.

For it, divide 250000 seconds by 86400 seconds.


250000%2F86400 = 2.8935 days.
