How do you name a century?

The 15th century is 1401 to 1500, often called the 1400s. Students use this rule for events such as Jamestown in 1607.

How do you find someone's age in a past year?

Subtract the birth year, and take away 1 more if the birthday has not come yet. The worked example on the page finds John Adams's age on July 4, 1776.
