To calculate how many days ago January 1, 2020 was from May 16, 2025:
- From January 1, 2020, to January 1, 2025, is exactly 5 years.
- From January 1, 2025, to May 16, 2025, is 135 days (31 days in January, 28 days in February 2025 (not a leap year), 31 days in March, 30 days in April, and 15 days in May before the 16th).
Now, calculate the total days in those 5 years:
- 2020 was a leap year: 366 days
- 2021: 365 days
- 2022: 365 days
- 2023: 365 days
- 2024 was a leap year: 366 days
Total days from 2020 to 2024 = 366 + 365 + 365 + 365 + 366 = 1827 days Add the 135 days from 2025: 1827 + 135 = 1962 days Answer: January 1, 2020 was 1,962 days ago from May 16, 2025.
