It's Exodus 32... it says he "delayed to come down", so I'm not sure how many days. But the point is, it wasn't very long, maybe 40 days, and they just fast forwarded to making an idol and worshipping it. Moses actually had 3000 of the men killed after he came back, because of the great sin. It's actually a pretty sad story, because God had done so many miracles on their behalf and they forgot so fast. I feel like we're in the same boat today.
What was remarkable was G-d's plan was to wipe out all the Israelites completely and continue Abraham's covenant through Moses. Moses argued with him, said "No, I'd rather you erase me entirely."
