So I have resolved my issue thanks to others advice what worked is to
1. stat the file get its mtime and
2. register and
3. assign it to a variable and the same for the current date and
4. put both variables and include to convert them to an INT into a jinja
subtraction arithmetic and divide all inside the jinja {{ }}
5. register the sum total and include the INT
6. add another debug and msg to output SUM as a whole number instead of a
float.
[root@ansible ansible]# ansible-playbook mystat.yml
PLAY [localhost]
*****************************************************************************************************************

}
PLAY RECAP

localhost : ok=7 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
[root@ansible ansible]#
AND my playbook looks like this above is the results.
---
- hosts: localhost
user: ansible
become: true
tasks:
- stat:
path: /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
register: file_age
- debug:
var: file_age.stat.mtime
- debug:
var: ansible_date_time.epoch
- name: age of file in days
debug:
msg: "{{ (ansible_date_time.epoch|int -
file_age.stat.mtime|int)/(86400|round|int) }}"
register: msg
- debug:
var: msg
- debug:
msg: " Your file is {{ msg|int }} days old"
