To calculate how many Sundays are in a month, start by identifying the month and year. Find the first day of the month using a calendar. Then, count every 7th day from that first Sunday. For example, if the 1st of the month is a Tuesday, the first Sunday is the 5th. Continue counting (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th) to determine the total Sundays in that month. Most months have four Sundays, while some may have five.
