A century is 100 years.
The 12th century was the years 1101 through 1200. That means that it was at least 814 years ago, up to 913 years ago, as of 2014.
To get the century, just use the next number up. So the 12-hundreds would be the 13th century.
The sixteenth. You always divide the date by a hundred and round up to find the century.
Because the 20th Century is over and done with.Think of it this way:Pretend that when they started counting years, they called the first year ' 1 '.And at the same time, they made up the word 'Century' to mean '100 years'.So, ' 1 ' was the first year, ' 2 ' was the second year, ' 3 ' was the third year,' 99 ' was the 99th year, ' 100 ' was the 100th year, and the end of the year 100was the end of the first century.Notice that the year 100 was the last year of Century #1, and the 2nd Centurystarted on January 1, 101 .So the year 200 was the last year of Century #2, and the 3rd Century startedon January 1, 201 .And the year 300 was the last year of Century #3, and the 4th Century startedon January 1, 401 .Jump ahead a few centuries now . . .The year 2000 was the last year of Century #20, and the 21st Century startedon January 1, 2001 .
The smallest unit was a conturbenium which was made up of eight soldiers. Ten conturbenium made up a century which was commanded by a centurion. Then there were 6 centuries in a cohort and 10 cohorts would make up a legion which had approximately 6,000 men.
its 100 years that make up a century.. similarly 50 years is called an half century.
Ten YEARS make a decade. A decade is larger than a yeaR

Seconds make up minutes which make up hours which make up days which make up weeks which make up months which make up years. That's like asking how many meters make up an inch- it doesn't work, because a second is smaller.
