The length of a regular year is 52 weeks and 1 day; the length of a leap year is 52 weeks and 2 days.

The word week in this context means simply a 7-day period. It does not necessarily mean a calendar week, the period from Sunday through Saturday. For example, 2013 has 51 full calendar weeks, with five days before the first full week of the year and three days after the last full week of the year.

5 + (51 x 7) + 3 = (52 x 7) + 1

Given the frequency of leap year days, the average number of weeks per year is exactly 52.1775.
