52
Answer for screen readers

The total number of Sundays in the year 2022 is 52.

Steps to Solve

  1. Determine the Total Days in the Year Since 2022 is not a leap year, it has a total of 365 days.

  2. Find the Day of the Week for January 1, 2022 January 1, 2022, falls on a Saturday. This will help us determine the Sundays throughout the year.

  3. Calculate Total Sundays in the Year We know that every week has one Sunday. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, we start with 52 Sundays. Next, we need to check if there is an additional Sunday by analyzing the remaining days after 52 weeks:

  • 52 weeks = 364 days
  • Days remaining: $365 - 364 = 1$

Since the remaining day after 52 weeks (which is also a Saturday) does not add an extra Sunday, we can conclude.

  1. Total Count of Sundays Thus, the total number of Sundays in 2022 is 52.

The total number of Sundays in the year 2022 is 52.

More Information

In the Gregorian calendar, most years have 52 weeks and one extra day, and only leap years have 53 Sundays when the year starts or ends on a Sunday. The calculation here reflects a typical year scenario.

Tips

  • Confusing a leap year with a common year. Remember that only leap years have an extra day (February 29).
  • Miscounting weeks or days. It's essential to clearly identify the first day of the year and understand how it affects the weekly cycle.
