Time standards are now based on atomic clocks. A promising second standard is based on pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars (highly compact stars consisting only of neutrons). Some rotate at a rate that is highly stable, sending out a radio beacon that sweeps briefly across Earth once with each rotation, like a lighthouse beacon. Suppose a pulsar rotates once every 1.743 206 448 872 75 ± 2 ms, where the trailing ± 2 indicates the uncertainty in the last decimal place (it does not mean ± 2 ms).

How many rotation does the pulsar make in 14.0 days?
(b) How much time does the pulsar take to rotate exactly one million times? (Give your answer to at least 4 decimal places.)
