How do you add and subtract ad and bc?
You can treat the BC years like negative numbers except that you need to compensate for the fact that there is no year 0 (the year before A.D. 1 is 1 B.C.). If you add to a B.C. year and you get a number greater than -1, add 1 more to compensate for the lack of year 0. For example, to calculate what year was five years after 2 B.C., add five to negative two: -2 + 5 = 3 Since 3 is greater than -1, add 1 more: 3 + 1 = 4 So A.D. 4 is five years after 2 B.C. Likewise, when you're subtracting from a positive (AD) year and you get a number less than 1, subtract 1 more for the lack of year 0. For example, to find the last leap year BC, subtract 4 years from the first leap year AD: 4 - 4 = 0 Since 0 is less than 1, 0 - 1 = -1 So the last leap year BC was 1 BC.
How many years ago was 3073 BC?
Basically you do the following calculation: You add the current year + the BC year number. Then you subtract 1 from the result, to account for the fact that traditionally, no year zero was used.
What is BC vs AD?
BC= stands for Befor Christ(count down) AD= stands for nAnno Domini(in the year of the lord) You know when years counted down right? Well that is BC. Then AD is when the years count up. When the abbreviations are the same then subtract(-) if they are different the add(+) 500 BC And 500 AD its 1,000 years! Now do you get it? If you still dont get it.... ASK YOUR TEACHER!
What year was it 100000 years ago?
2017 - 100,000 = -97,983 As there was NO year 0 (as zero hadn't been invented when Dennis the Little renumbered the years in what he/we call 531 AD) 1 BC preceded 1 AD and so subtract an extra year → 100,000 years before 2017 AD is 97,984 BC
What century is the year 867 BC in?
The year 867 BC, as with any year between 900 BC and 801 BC, falls in the ninth century BC.
Do I add the BC year and the actual year than subtract the total from the actual year now to find out the year of the BC TIME times?
no
How to calculate years using bc from ac?
Take the BC year and add it to the AD year with present year and bc & ad

How do you compute the difference between the year BC to AD?
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.

If tutankhamun in 18 what year was that?
he was born in 1346 BC and if he was 18 years old... 1346 subtract 18 gaves you what year it was.... you subtract because it was before the surrent aera. so when he was 18 years old, it was 1328 BC. :)
How many years ago was 500 BC?
There is 1399 years between these two numbers just add them together and subtract 1 (there is no year zero) and you will get the answer you want.
460 bc means how many years ago?
To determine how many years ago 460 BC was from the current year, you subtract 460 from the current year. Current year - 460 BC = 2024 - (-460) = 2484 years ago So, 460 BC was approximately 2484 years ago.

How do you subtract BC and AD?
BC= negative number AD= Positive number
What year does this equal 2200 BC - 2008 present day?
It is 4207 years, remembering that there was no year zero.
Is the year 460 bc before 370 bc?
Yes because in BC it goes backwards meaning that 50BC is closer to present day than 500BC
