Days: calendars, durations. Weeks: schedules, pregnancy and projects. 7 days is exactly 1 week.

How we know this is right
The factor is fixed by the standards that define the units, not chosen — so it is exact, not a measurement:
1 wk = 7 d, so 1 d = 1 ÷ 7 = 0.142857 wk.

Every value is carried to full double precision; the display is rounded.

Both units are defined in BIPM SI Brochure (2019); the second is defined by the caesium-133 transition.
