How Long Does It Take To Count to 1 Million?

June 16, 2020 by Karen Hill

Naturally, how long it takes depends on how fast you can count.

one million m&ms

But if you can count from 1 to 100 in one minute, and you keep counting every minute, without stopping, for eight hours every day (taking time off to eat, sleep, and go to school), you would reach 1 million in 20 days, 6 hours, and 40 minutes, or almost 3 weeks.

If, however, you give up eating, sleeping, and school, and just count every minute of every hour of every day, you would reach 1,000,000 in 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes, almost 1 week.

If you’ve tried counting to 1 million, tell us how long it took.
