How many years are between 184 BC and 550 AD?

Answer 1

550 - -184 = 734.

However as there was no year 0, 733 years after 184 BC was 550 AD, so there are 732 years between them (the years: 183 BC, 182 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, 1 AD, 2 AD, ..., 548 AD, 549 AD).

Answer 2

There would be 184+550-1 = 733 years. On the number line, for example, the distance from -184 to +550 is 184 + 550 = 734. However there was no year 0 (BC or AD) and so you need to take one away from this answer.
