How to Calculate Age?
Let's take an example to understand how to calculate age. Suppose a person was born on July 1, 1990, and the current date is July 16, 2023.
- Note Down Your Birth Date
- Start by knowing your birth date, including the day, month, and year.
- For example, if you were born on July 1, 1990, that's your birth date.
- Determine the Current Date
- Next, find out the current date for which you want to calculate your age.
- Let's say the current date is July 16, 2023.
- Calculate the Number of Years
- Now, subtract your birth year from the current year to find out how many years you have lived.
- In this example: 2023 (current year) - 1990 (birth year) = 33 years.
- Calculate the Number of Months
- Next, subtract your birth month from the current month to determine the number of months.
- In this example: 7 (current month) - 7 (birth month) = 0 months.
- Calculate the Number of Days
- Lastly, subtract your birth day from the current day to find the number of days.
- In this example: 16 (current day) - 1 (birth day) = 15 days.
- View Your Age
- That's it! The resulting values represent your age in years, months, and days.
- So, in this example, your age is 33 years, 0 months, and 15 days.
