One hundredth of a century is a year.
The century that ran from 1900 to 1999 is known as the 20th century (on the principle that the first century was the one that ran from the year one to the year 99). The current century, in the year 2009 as I type, is known as the 21st century.
A century is made of 100 years. That is longer than one year, whether it is a normal year or a leap year.
Well, that depends on how long it takes.40 percent in a year is incredible.40 percent in a century is no big deal.
1948. A century is one hundred years.
Right... Year one is exactly what it says on the tin... Yes ? And it is in the first century, was it not ?....... yes it was. So what year was it before year one ? What century was it last year, before the first century ? No ! it was not the year 0 or 0 century was it ! Therefore this is the 21st century: If we had a 0 century then it would be the 20th, but there was no such thing ! huh?! There was no year 0 or 0th century....

Yes a century is a one hundred year period. The last year of the 21st century is 2099.
There was no year designated as 'year zero'. Since a century is 100 full years, the first century went from the full year 'one' all the way through the full year 'one hundred'. The second century began on Jan 1 of the year 101. The last year of the 20th century was therefore the year 2000. The first year of the 21st century started on Jan 1, 2001. The 21st century will end Dec 31 2100.
26 hours is . . . - 2,600 percent of one hour - 1081/3 percent of one day - 15.48 percent of one week - 0.297 percent of one year
From 1901 to 2001, this century was called the Twentieth century. This is because the first century did not begin in the year of Zero. It began at the year of one. Thus the first century ended on January 1, the century of one.
