0

97 years in the past was 23 Oct 1927, a Sunday. Subtracting 97 years in the past is usually simple. Anything under a decade can usually be counted on one hand. The biggest challenge will be skipping decades behind or even centuries. Additionally, we’re 23 days from the end of October, so being in the end of of the month, you'll need to consider monthly changes as well. Weekly and daily changes most likely won't impact 97 years ago.

How we calculated 97 years before today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 97 years ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 23 Oct, then set the calculation - 97 years, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 97 years in October will bring us back to September or further.
Counted backwards years from current day: date - 23 Oct, factoring in the 23 days left in October to calculate Sunday October 23, 1927
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for October 23

Current date: 23 Oct
Day of the week: Sunday
New Date: Sunday October 23, 1927
New Date Day of the week: Sunday
October marks the start of Q4 so counting backward will put you back into the 3 fiscal quarter.
The solution crosses into a different year.

Ways to calculate 97 years ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 97 years is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 23 days in October + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your years and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use October's calendar: Begin by identifying 23 Oct on a calendar, note that it’s Sunday, and the total days in September (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until last year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count backwards 97 times years by years, subtracting years from until your remainder of years is 0.
Use excel: For more complex years calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-97 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -97, cell:cell) for working years.

Working years in 97 calendar years

97 years is Sunday October 23, 1927 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 97 years and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Sunday October 23, 1927 date.
