Calculating the days left between two epoch time values JavaScript?

Question

If I am given an end date in epoch time, how do I use the current time to calculate the days left before the end epoch time given?

Epoch time given example:

1444958355000

Getting current day in epoch:

var day = new Date();
var time = day.getTime();

Divide by 1000 to get seconds, then by 60 for minutes, then by 60 for hours, then by 24 for days:

var timeleft = 1444958355000 - (new Date()).getTime();
var days = Math.ceil((((timeleft / 1000) / 60) / 60) / 24)
//days = 60;
