First assume that an average leap year is 365.25 days. This allows for every fourth year being a leap year. Strictly speaking that is not true because every centenary is not a leap year but then every 4-centenary is, etc. Besides, it is not clear what meaning could be attached to a "year" for much of the 14 billion years since the the sun is nowhere near that old and the earth existed for less than a quarter of the time.

Anyway, assuming 1 year = 365.25 days,

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

you get 14 billion years = 4.42*1017 or 442 quadrillion seconds.
