How many weeks in 100 years?

There are 52 weeks in one year. 52 x 100 = 5200 --------------------------------------------------------------- There are actually a little bit more than 52 weeks in one year. A non-leap year has 365 days. A period of 100 consecutive years will contain 24 or 25 leap years. So 365 x 100 = 36500 days. Add 24 or 25 leap years and you have 36524 or 36525 days. Divide by 7 and you have 5217 weeks plus 5 or 6 days.
