How old am I if I was born in 1946?
The question "How old am I if I was born in 1946?" can be answered by calculating the number of years between the year 1946 and the current year. Since the current year is not specified, I will assume the current year to be the most recent one provided. For the purpose of this calculation, we'll use the United States standard of four quarters per year, which amounts to five years to complete an entire cycle through the seasons.
Here's how the calculation works:
-
Determine the current year as of the time of writing this answer (December 8, 2023).
-
Calculate the number of full calendar years from 1946 to the current year.
-
Break down each full year into individual days.
-
Add the total number of days from 1946 to the current year.
-
Since there are 365 days in a non-leap year and 366 days in a leap year, adjust the total number of days based on whether the year 1946 was a leap year or not. A leap year occurs every four years, with the year 1940 being the first leap year since 1900.
Remember that this method estimates the number of days lived up until the end of the current year, not including the year you were born (1946). To calculate your exact age, subtract the year 1946 from the current year and compare the result to the number of full years that have passed since then.
