How to Find Any Particular Day From the Given Date !!!

There is mathematical calculation involved in it. Simply follow the below given 5 steps to find the day for any given date from years 1752 to 2099.

Take the last two digits of the year and add 1/4 of it to the same. Ignore the remainder.
Let's take 14 Nov, 1977 as an example. Take last two digits of year i.e. 77. 1/4 of it is 19.25. Ignore 0.25 and add 19 to 77. The answer is 96 (77 + 19).

Add the given day of the month to it.
The answer is 110 (96 + 14).

Now, add the month value to it. Month values are as given below:

·         January - if Leap Year then 0 else 1

·         February - if Leap Year then 3 else 4

·         March - 4

·         April - 0

·         May - 2

·         June - 5

·         July - 0

·         August - 3

·         September - 6

·         October - 1

·         November - 4

·         December - 6

The answer is 114 (110 + 4)

Add the Century value as given below:

·         18th Century - 4

·         19th Century - 2

·         20th Century - 0

·         21th Century - 6

The answer is 114 (114 + 0)

Divide the answer by 7. Ignore the quotient and take the remainder. Based on the value of remainder, you can tell the day.

·         1 - Sunday

·         2 - Monday

·         3 - Tuesday

·         4 - Wednesday

·         5 - Thursday

·         6 - Friday

·         0 - Saturday

Remainder after dividing 114 by 7 is 2. Hence, it was Monday on 14 Nov, 1977
