How many calories does it take to gain 1 pound?

How many unused calories is what's important here. Remember that you're burning calories just sitting around- about 80 an hour or so. You burn at least 1000 calories in a day just breathing, thinking and so on. A pound of fat contains roughly 4082 calories. So you'd have to consume 4082 calories beyond what you burn in a day to gain a pound of fat. Conversely, you'd need to burn 4082 calories more than you consume to lose a pound of fat. That may seem like a lot, but realize that an extra hundred calories a day, everyday, over the course of a lifetime can really add up, a pound a month, 12 pounds a year. A pound is equivalant to 453.592 grams, and 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. Therefore 453.592 grams per pound*9 calories per gram of fat= 4082.328 calories per pound. But in all reality all of those calories wouldn't be stored as fat. They could be stored as protein or carbohydrates, which both contain 4 calories per gram, so plug in four instead and you get 1814.368 calories per pound. So calories needed to gain a pound are 1814.368 to 4082.328 calories.

How many calories a day will it take to gain 5 lbs in one month?

In general, to gain 1 lb of body fat you need to create a calorie surplus of 3500 Calories. For example, if you intake 2500 calories a day and expend 2000, that's a surplus of 500 calories a day. At that rate you will gain 1 pound a week (7 days x 500calories/day = 3500 Calories) You need to consider your natural body metabolism and how much you exercise, and compare that to how much you eat.
