How many years ago was 1915?
111 years, if you mean 1915 to 2026 as calendar years, which is how the question is usually meant. If you need it exactly, pick a date: 1 January 1915 was 40,808 days ago, 1 July 1915 was 40,627 days ago, 31 December 1915 was 40,444 days ago. Subtracting the years alone gives 111, but that quietly assumes a date, so the table below gives all three.
