#540 - Compare Quantity Puzzle

Suppose "s" represents the number of seconds in a day and "h" represents the number of hours in ten years (which will also include two leap years), can you calculate which quantity is greater from the two variables?

S = 60 * 60 * 24 seconds = 86, 400 seconds.
H = (8 * 365 *24) + (2 * 366 *24) hours = 87, 648 hours

Clearly, H is greater than S even though not by much.
