Numerous arguments were staged at the beginning of 2000. Some claimed that the old century ended with the year 2000 and the new century began with 2001. Their reasoning was that the first century started with the year 1; there was no year 0.
The 5th century refers to the period from 401 to 500 AD. It lasted for 100 years. To figure this out, you can calculate the difference between the last year of the century (500) and the first year (401), and then add 1 because we include both endpoints when counting the number of years in a range.
Here's the calculation:
Number of years = (last year - first year) + 1
Number of years = (500 - 401) + 1
Number of years = 100
Therefore, there were 100 years in the 5th century, from 401 AD to 500 AD.
