Carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5,700 years, meaning that after this period, half of the original amount of carbon-14 will have decayed. Therefore, if you start with a certain amount of carbon-14, after 5,700 years, you would have 50% of the original amount remaining. After another 5,700 years (a total of 11,400 years), 25% would remain, and so on. Thus, after 5,700 years, you would have half of the initial carbon-14 quantity left.
