With units of decades and the term "elapsed", I expect an integer result is
required. With your example of 26 years, 2 decades have elapsed; 3 decades
have not elapsed. IMO, the result must be 2, not 3.

You havent specified how you are going to count the years (like if the
difference in years is 26 , do you want the result as 2 or 3)
