The reason there are 365 days in a year is due to the Earth's orbit around the sun taking approximately 365.25 days. This extra quarter of a day adds up over four years, resulting in a leap year with 366 days. The Gregorian calendar system adjusts for this discrepancy by adding an extra day in February every four years, except for years evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400. This is why the math of 52 weeks multiplied by 7 days does not perfectly align with the length of a year.

How many days in 2010 without Saturdays and Sundays?

Well there are 365 days in that year and January 1st is on a Friday so that will be the beginning of every week for 52 weeks + 1 day (52 x 7 = 364 + 1 = 365) and that one day will be a Friday. So if you take all that into consideration the equation would look like this: days in the year - [weeks x weekends] = Days of 2010 without Saturday and Sunday ~ or ~ (365 - (52 x 2)) = ? (365 - (104)) = ? 365 - 104 = ? = 261

How come there are 365 days in a year when a year consists of 52 weeks of seven days a week?

Well, that's obviously not exact. 52 (weeks) x 7 days (per week) is only 364 days. There are 52 weeks plus one day in a year, usually. There are 365 days in a year, with 366 days in a leap year. If you look at calendars, you will see that the day of the week that January 1st is on changes each year. The length of a year is based on the time for the Earth to orbit the Sun. The exact length of that period is actually close to 365.2422 days. That's why we use 365 days plus leap years.
