How to Calculate Weeks Between Dates
- Calculate the number of days between two dates (use a days calculator if needed).
- Divide the number of days by 7 and round down to get the number of full weeks.
- Calculate the remainder after dividing by 7 to get the remaining days.
Example
Problem: How many weeks are in the school year between September 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022?
Solution:
- Number of days = 272
- Full weeks = 272 ÷ 7 = 38 (rounded down)
- Remaining days = 272 - (38 × 7) = 6
Answer: 38 weeks and 6 days
