How to Convert Centuries to Decades

To convert a measurement in centuries to a measurement in decades, multiply the time by the following conversion ratio: 10 decades/century.

Since one century is equal to 10 decades, you can use this simple formula to convert:

decades = centuries × 10

The time in decades is equal to the time in centuries multiplied by 10.

For example, here's how to convert 5 centuries to decades using the formula above.

decades = (5 c × 10) = 50 decades

How Many Decades Are in a Century?

There are 10 decades in a century, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
