The number of weeks in a month varies because months have different numbers of days. Here's a clear breakdown:

  • Average month length: About 30 or 31 days (except February, which has 28 or 29 days).
  • Weeks in a month: Since 1 week = 7 days,
    • 30 days ÷ 7 ≈ 4.29 weeks
    • 31 days ÷ 7 ≈ 4.43 weeks
    • February (28 days) ÷ 7 = 4 weeks exactly
    • February (29 days, leap year) ÷ 7 ≈ 4.14 weeks

Summary:

  • Most months have about 4 weeks and 2 or 3 extra days.
  • You can think of a month as roughly 4 full weeks plus a few extra days.

If you want to convert weeks to months or vice versa, it’s helpful to remember that 1 month ≈ 4.3 weeks on average.
