173 weeks is 3.3 years — about 3 years and 4 months once you count leap days. It's a short, countable span: small enough that you can almost picture each of the 173 squares, and the kind of stretch a single project, relationship, or chapter of life tends to take.
The straight answer
173 weeks ÷ 52 = 3.3 years. Counting the extra leap days (52.18 weeks per year), the more precise figure is 3.3 years — about 3 years and 4 months. For most purposes the round 3.3 years is the number you want.

A span you can actually count
The reason it's worth converting 173 weeks into years is that the two numbers feel completely different. "3.3 years" sounds like a vague block of time. "173 weeks" sounds like something you could tick off on a wall, because you almost could.
At one weekend per week, 173 weeks is also about 173 weekends — the unit a short span is really lived in. Whether that feels like a lot or a little depends mostly on what you're measuring against.
