To determine the number of Fridays in a year, we need to consider the length of the year and the day of the week on which it starts. A common year has 365 days, and a leap year has 366 days. Since 2018 is not a leap year, it has 365 days.
The year 2018 started on a Monday. To find out how many Fridays there are, we can divide the total number of days in the year by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week) and then determine the remainder.
