400 - 24... 376
It depends on whether you believe that the fifth century starts in 400 or 401.
Remember, there was no year 0. So some people would argue that the first century began in the year 1, the second in the year 101, the third in the year 201, etc. Others would argue that this is just pedantic pretense.
So it's either 376 or 377, depending on how you count.
