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.
Well, honey, there were 10 centuries between 1900 and 2000. A century is 100 years, so you just gotta do some basic math and count 'em up. Don't worry, I won't judge you for asking.
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 .
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
2000-2099
1600-1699
The 20th century began in 1901 and ended in 2000
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.

A century is 100 years. A decade is 10 years. Therefore to work out how many decades are in a century, you need to divide 100 by 10 which = 10. Therefore there are 10 decades in a century.
