I went back and counted, and it turns out my figure was accurate. Today is the 733rd Friday the 13th since the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582. The Gregorian calendar is a 400 year cycle, and there are 688 Friday the 13th's every 400 years in that cycle. I counted from 1982 to today's date, and then I added 688. I took into account the month of the year that the new cycle started.
There will be 2 more Friday the 13th's this calendar year, and that's where my 735 figure came from.

Hold on. The question says "since the current calendar was put in place". That varies according to where you live. Almost everyone on this site seems to be American, British, or assorted other ex-British colonies. Because Britain was Protestant and didn't like being told to change their calendar by a Pope, the current calendar did not get put in place in our countries until much later. Britain and it's colonies adopted the new calendar Sept 14, 1752. And if you live in Alaska the adoption was in 18 October 1867 . So the calculations are more complex.
What's your source for there being 735?
Math. Wikipedia told me the occurrence, on average, of Friday the 13th's per year. I calculated that from the end of 1582 to the current date to get my answer.
