                                       = 6 weeks 13 days = 7 weeks 6 days

                                   or    1 month 3 weeks 6 days


        Example 7:  (a) Divide 18 hours 45 minutes 30 seconds by 5
                            (b) Divide 25 weeks 6 days 16 hours by 8

        Solution:           Divide  the  bigger  units  first  and  convert  the  remainder

                            into the smaller units to proceed to the next division.
