If the current year is 2021, there are 79 years until the end of the century. This is because a century is 100 years long, and we are currently in the 21st century. So, 100 - 21 = 79 years remaining until the end of the 21st century.

The fifteenth Century is all the time from the beginning of January 1, 1401 until the end of December 31, 1500. That's exactly 100 full years.
From the END of the 14th century to the START of the 17th century = from end of 1400 to start of 1601 = day before start of 1401 to start of 1601 = 200 years plus 1 day. The adoption of the Gregorian Calendar during the late 16th century probably negates the accuracy of the above answer. So 200 years would be the correct answer.
The years 0 to the end of 999 are the 'first century'. Counting up from there, 1350 is in the '14th Century'.
The fifth century began on January 1, 401 AD, and ended on December 31, 500 AD. To determine how many years ago the fifth century was, we need to subtract the end year (500 AD) from the current year. As of 2023, the fifth century was 1523 years ago.
It is considered to have lasted from 1 AD to the end of 100AD, or 100 years. Note that no-one used that calendar system at the time.
