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.
About Week (wk)
Definition
The week is a unit of time equal to 7 days, or 604,800 seconds.
Mathematical Relationship
1 wk = 7 d = 168 h = 10,080 min = 604,800 s. A year has about 52.18 weeks.
Conversion Formula
To convert weeks to days: multiply by 7. To convert weeks to hours: multiply by 168.
Practical Applications
Pay periods (biweekly), pregnancy tracking (40 weeks), sprint cycles in agile development, and workout schedules.
Interesting Facts
The seven-day week has no astronomical basis — unlike days, months, and years, it's a purely human invention. It has been continuous for thousands of years.
Common Mistakes
Assuming months are exactly 4 weeks — most months are 4.3 weeks (30–31 days). Only February in non-leap years is exactly 4 weeks.
Educational Tips
Days of the week in many languages reflect the seven celestial bodies: Sun-day, Moon-day, Saturn-day, etc.
