Default finding the difference in years between dates

Hi
I need a formula which will work out the difference in
years between two dates to calculate age.
For example if I type 8/8/1984 into A1 and 8/9/2004 into
A2 I need a formula which will show 20 in A3.

Hi
one way:
=YEAR(A2)-YEAR(A1)

or
=DATEDIF(A1,A2,"y")

Would subtracting one number from the other and dividing by 365 give you the
same answer?
