Mars take 1.8808 earth years to orbit the sun, so you would be your age divided by 1.8808; however the Martian day is slightly longer with 40 minutes = 1/36 day extra, so you also need to divide by 1 1/36 which is the same as multiplying by 36/37. Thus to convert Earth years to Martian years you need to multiply by 36/37 ÷ 1.8808 ≈ 0.51732.

Thus, for example, a 10 earth year old will be approx 10 × 0.51732 ≈ 5.17 Martian years old ≈ 5.2 = 5 1/5 Martian years old.
