The need to correct the calendar arose from the realisation that the correct figure for the number of days in a year is not 365.25 (365 days 6 hours) as assumed by the Julian calendar but slightly less (c. 365.242 days). The Julian calendar therefore has too many leap years.
1738 (MDCCXXXVIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar and a common year starting on Sunday of the Julian calendar, the 1738th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 738th year of the 2nd millennium, the 38th year of the 18th century, and the 9th year of the 1730s decade. As of the start ...

In a Gregorian mean year, there are 365.2425 days, and thus exactly 52 + 71 ⁄ 400 or 52.1775 weeks (unlike the Julian year of 365.25 days or 52 + 5 ⁄ 28 ≈ 52.1786 weeks, which cannot be represented by a finite decimal expansion). There are exactly 20,871 weeks in 400 Gregorian years, so 22 February 1625 was a Saturday just as was 22 ...
The calendar has 13 months in a year (afo), 7 weeks in a month (onwa), and 4 days of Igbo market days (afor, nkwo, eke, and orie) in a week (izu) plus an extra day at the end of the year, in the last month. The name of these months was reported by Onwuejeogwu (1981).
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month = 1 |day = 1 |year = 1 }} → 2023 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 6 days Alternatively, the first set of parameters can be left out to get the time left until a future date, such as the next Wikipedia Day :
This will therefore present an issue if a leap week calendar is intended for use in multiple countries. A year with an intercalary/leap week is 7 days longer than a year without an intercalary week. Consequently, the equinoxes and solstices must vary over 7 days, i.e. ±3 of the average date, or even more, such as 19 days in the Pax Calendar.
