It corresponds to 37 synodic months,
39.9914087638034 sidereal months, 40.152246109637005 draconic months, 39.653405866893394 anomalistic months, and 1,092.6317546296311 days.
It intercalates 3 lunar years (which’s 38.910559878295196 sidereal months,
39.067050268836 draconic months, 38.5816921948152 anomalistic months,

41.237441950438004 draconic months, 40.7251195389716 anomalistic months, and 1,122.162342592594 days, and is nearly 3 synodic periods of Saturn, making it useful for calculations new/full moons in opposition/conjunction with Saturn.
