Default Turning numbers into Dates

That's OK providing that you just want to display it that way, and not
calculate as dates.

I would like to know how to turn a number such as "51319" into a date
such as
"5/13/19". As of now, when I try to format the cell to a date format, it
completely changes the date from "52309" to a random date such as
"7/11/35".
I have no idea why. Any ideas?
