The Life of Lamech

Start — Genesis 5:25. The year of Lamech (son of Methuselah)'s birth is the year his father, Methuselah, was born (688) + the age of his father at Lamech (son of Methuselah)'s birth (187) = 875
End — Genesis 5:31. The year of Lamech (son of Methuselah)'s death is his birth year (875) + his age at death (777) = 1652

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
