Many values from Length of the Lunar Cycle.
The "Days in cycle" is the number of days for there to be an integer number of months. Multiply the mean month by the denominator.
The successor to the Taichu calendar used a non-constant model (cubic). The successor to that, the modern Chinese calendar, uses astronomical observations.
Noting that the Gregorian cycle (400 years) and the Hebrew calendar molad share no common factors, the Gregorian computus could be, and arguably should be, worse. Multiply the two periods to get a cycle of 111827465001 days.
The Metonic Cycle = 235 months = 5 * 47.
