Could someone tell the mathematical expression

Four.
Is this the canonical answer?
Yes.
There seemed to have been a lot of
discussion about this, and the formula being something like "older
than 1% of users".
That used to be used for a few things. It's obsolete. Anyone who told you that
is current information is misinformed.
In the end, was it fixed at 4 days (96 hours), or is
that still an
approximation?
4 days exactly (4*86400 seconds).
