To determine the number of weeks in a month, we first count the number of days in a month and then divide the number by 7.
One Month
=
4 Weeks
Each month has exactly the same number of days each year with the exception of a leap year. The Gregorian calendar measures the number of days and weeks in a year to be 365 days. For the leap year, a single day is added in the month of February to make it 366 days. You can also calculate how many weeks are in each month with a simple mathematical calculation. First, the number of days in a month can be categorized into four depending on whether it is a common year or a leap year. To clarify this phenomenon, a month can either have 28 days, 29 days, 30 days or 31 days.
To determine the number of weeks in a month, we first count the number of days in a month and then divide the number by 7. Since one week has 7 days, dividing the number by 7 answers the question of how many weeks are in a month.

28 days in a month
February is the only month in the common Gregorian calendar that has 28 days. If we want to find out the number of weeks that are in this month, we divide the total number of days by 7 (number of days in a week). This can be expressed as;
28 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4 weeks
29 days in a month
February is the only month in a leap year of the Gregorian calendar that has 29 days. To determine the number of weeks that are in this month, you will divide the total days in February by7 which is the number of days in one week. This can be expressed as;
29 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4 weeks and 1 day
Or
29 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4.1429 weeks (expressed in decimals)
30 days in a month
A few months in the Gregorian calendar will have a total number of 30 days. We divide this number by 7 to get the total number of weeks that are in a month (30 days). This can be expressed as;
30 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4 weeks and 2 days
Or
30 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4.2857 weeks (expressed in decimals)
31 days in a month
There are other months in the Gregorian calendar that have a total number of 31 days. If you want to determine the number of weeks in a month, you divide the total number of days by 7. It can be expressed as;
30 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4 weeks and 3 days
Or
30 days ÷ 7 days/week = 4.4286 weeks
