i understand unos cuantos and unas cuantas mean a few
but i found out the translation of a few days is algunos días and not unos cuantos días.
What is the reason behind it?
Thanks

Hola Ashlyn
Algunos and unos cuantos are similar quantifiers in Spanish.
Algunos/algunas is more used generally to say "some" and unos cuantos/unas cuantas is expressing "a few" - it's the same difference as in English.
I have some tissues here.
Tengo algunos pañuelos aquí.
I have a few tissues here.
Tengo unos cuantos pañuelos aquí.
Have a look here for algún, alguna, algunos, algunas.
Saludos
