What is it you don't understand?  I specifically wrote how to do
this calculation.

As a formula:
total_time = time_per_PDP * amount_of_PDPs_per_CDP * amount_of_CDPs

There's *no* way I can come up with this number so explain.  While
you're doing that maybe we can see where you go wrong.


For 5 years worth of data:

5 years would be 5 * 365 days + two extra = 1827 days.  (The two extra
days are for february 29th).

1827 days * 86400 seconds per day = 157852800 seconds.
The amount of steps in the last PDP is 288.
The amount of time per PDP is 60

So:
total_time = time_per_PDP * amount_of_PDPs_per_CDP * amount_of_CDPs
157852800  =      60      *  288                   * amount_of_CDPs

157852800  =      17280                            * amount_of_CDPs
157852800/17280 = amount_of_CDPs
amount_of_CDPs = 9135
