How Many Weeks Are in a Year?
Total Weeks in a Year
A normal year has:
👉 52 weeks and 1 day
That’s because:
- A year has 365 days
- 1 week = 7 days
- 365 ÷ 7 = 52 weeks + 1 day
So, in most years, we get 52 full weeks and 1 extra day.
What About a Leap Year?
Every 4 years, we have a leap year, which has 366 days.
- 366 ÷ 7 = 52 weeks + 2 days
So in a leap year, we get 52 full weeks and 2 extra days.
