To convert weeks to centuries, you just need the link between weeks, days, and years.
In the Gregorian calendar, the most common case is:
So, for a weeks to centuries conversion (common century), use:
For a leap century (century year divisible by 400, like 1600, 2000, 2400):
Quick tip: a common century is 5 days past a whole number of weeks, so weekday dates shift when you jump ahead by 100 years.
A common century has 100 years. Using the average year length (365.2425 days), that equals about 5,217.75 weeks.
If you use simple math with 365 days per year, you get about 5,214.29 weeks. The small gap comes from leap years.
If you mean 100 calendar years, the total weeks depend on how many leap days fall in that span. Most 100-year periods include 24 or 25 leap years, so the total weeks land near 5,217 weeks plus a few extra days.
Convert in two steps:
In one line: centuries = weeks ÷ 5,217.75 (using the average year).
Multiply centuries by the weeks in an average century:
weeks = centuries × 5,217.75
This uses the average year length, which accounts for leap years over time.
Weeks always come in sets of 7 days, but years don’t. A year is about 365.2425 days on average. Leap years add extra days, so the count won’t line up to an exact number of weeks.
Using the average year length:
50 years = 50 × 52.1775 weeks = about 2,608.88 weeks.
Using 365 days per year gives about 2,607.14 weeks.
Using the average year length:
25 years = 25 × 52.1775 weeks = about 1,304.44 weeks.
The exact number can shift by a few days because of leap years.
Using the average year length:
10 years = 10 × 52.1775 weeks = about 521.78 weeks.
That’s 521 full weeks plus extra days.
A year is about 52.1775 weeks on average.
A 365-day year is 52.1429 weeks. A 366-day leap year is 52.2857 weeks.
A decade is 10 years, and a century is 100 years.
That means a century has 10 decades and about 5,217.75 weeks, while a decade has about 521.78 weeks (using the average year).
Using the average century length:
centuries = 1,000 ÷ 5,217.75 = about 0.1917 centuries.
That equals about 19.17 years.
1,000 years is 10 centuries. Using the average year:
weeks = 1,000 × 52.1775 = about 52,177.5 weeks.
Real calendar totals vary slightly by how leap years land.
For quick estimates, use 52 weeks per year:
100 years ≈ 5,200 weeks.
This ignores extra days from leap years, so it’s close but not exact.
Yes. Leap years add one extra day, which adds up over time. Over a century, leap days create several extra weeks’ worth of days, but not enough to make a clean whole number.
No weeks are lost. The calendar adds leap days to keep seasons aligned. Those extra days mean you end up with leftover days after counting full weeks.
Days are better for exact calendar totals. Weeks work well for rough planning. Centuries almost always need averages unless you list the exact dates.
