About Century (cen)
Definition
A century is a unit of time equal to 100 years, or approximately 36,525 days (3,153,600,000 seconds based on 365-day years).
Mathematical Relationship
1 century = 100 years = 10 decades = 1,200 months ≈ 36,525 average days.
Conversion Formula
To convert centuries to years: multiply by 100. To decades: multiply by 10.
Practical Applications
Historical periodization, infrastructure planning (century-old bridges), and long-term climate projections.
Interesting Facts
The Gregorian calendar gained only about 1 day of error per 3,236 years — meaning it stays accurate for centuries without adjustment.
Common Mistakes
The 21st century began on January 1, 2001 — not 2000. There was no year 0, so the first century was years 1–100.
Educational Tips
Century numbering: the 1900s = 20th century. Add 1 to the hundreds: 1800s = 19th century, 2000s = 21st century.

Practical Applications
Fortnightly pay cycles (common in Australia and UK), rental payment periods, and magazine publication schedules.

Educational Tips
Fortnight = fourteen nights. In countries where it's common, it's as natural as saying 'week' — just meaning two of them.
