As a subject matter expert in calendar studies, I can provide you with an accurate answer to your question regarding the number of Mondays in the year 2017.
First, let's establish the number of days in 2017. The year 2017 is not a leap year, which means it has 365 days. A week consists of 7 days, so to find out how many weeks are in a year, we divide the total number of days by 7:
365 days ÷ 7 days/week = 52 weeks with 1 day remaining.
Since every week has a Monday, we can be sure that there are 52 Mondays. However, because there is 1 day remaining after dividing the year into weeks, we need to check if this extra day is a Monday to determine if there is an additional Monday.
2017 starts on a Sunday. Since the year has 365 days, we can calculate the day of the week for the last day of the year:
365 days % 7 days/week = 1 day remaining.
This means that December 31, 2017, is a Sunday. Since the year starts on a Sunday and ends on a Sunday, the extra day after the 52 complete weeks is not a Monday.
Therefore, the total number of Mondays in 2017 is 52.

Most years have 365 days, but a leap year has 366 days. That adds up to 52 weeks (where each week is exactly 7 days) PLUS 1 or 2 additional days. The year 2017 has exactly 365 days. Now if the year starts on a Monday in a non-leap year, you end up with 53 Mondays.
