Understanding Century to Hour Conversion

What is a Century?

A century represents a period of 100 years. This unit of time measurement is commonly used in historical contexts and long-term planning. The word "century" comes from the Latin word "centuria," meaning "group of one hundred."

Converting Centuries to Hours

To convert centuries to hours, we use these relationships:

  • 1 century = 100 years
  • 1 year = 365.2425 days (Gregorian calendar)
  • 1 day = 24 hours
  • Therefore: 1 century = 100 × 365.2425 × 24 = 876,582 hours
