Where people use this

Years: age, long durations, interest. Weeks: schedules, pregnancy and projects. A year is about 52 weeks.

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 = 0.01916495551 yr, so 1 yr = 1 ÷ 0.01916495551 = 52.1786 wk.

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