Questions of physical presence for naturalization

Hi,

I have a few questions about the physical presence in naturalization, on how the physical presence requirement of 913 days is counted. If my situation is: Got my greencard on Feb 1, 2011, then continuously stayed in US phisically for 750 days, and then kept leaving/entering US frequently but never stayed outside US longer than 5 months, until Feb 1, 2016 I lived in US physically for 890 days.

My questions are:
1, How is the "previous five years" defined? Does it have to be the previous 60 months (1826 days) preciously? For my case, if the "previous five years" counts from Feb 1, 2011 to Feb 1, 2016, my 890 days does not meet 913; but if the "previous five years" counts from Jan 1, 2011 to Feb 1, 2016, my days will be 920 which meets 913 requirement.

2, Because I stayed continuously in US for the initial 750 days after Feb 1, 2011, it means my absent days from US are mostly in 2014 and 2015. Does that mean even I stay longer in US until say Aug or Sep 2016, I still do not meet the 913 days requirement?

Thanks!
