1. What is the Hour Calculator Over Days?

The Hour Calculator Over Days calculates the total hours between two dates. It's useful for tracking work hours, project durations, or any time span that crosses multiple days.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( End\ date \) — The later date in the range
• \( Start\ date \) — The earlier date in the range
• \( 24 \) — Hours per day conversion factor

Explanation: The calculator first calculates the difference in days between the two dates, then multiplies by 24 to convert to hours.
