Calculating the day of the week

 

Examples

Now for an example of the complete algorithm, let's use April 24, 1982.
  1. Look up the 1900s in the centuries table: 0
2.   Note the last two digits of the year: 82
3.   Divide the 82 by 4: 82/4 = 20.5 and drop the fractional part: 20
4.   Look up April in the months table: 6
5.   Add all numbers from steps 1–4 to the day of the month (in this case, 24): 0+82+20+6+24=132.
6.   Divide the sum from step 5 by 7 and find the remainder: 132/7=18 remainder 6
Find the remainder in the days table: 6=Saturday.

Let's try leap year January 1, 2000
1.    Look up the 2000s in the centuries table: 6
2.    Note the last two digits of the year: 00
3.    Divide the 00 by 4: 0/4 = 0 and drop the fractional part: 0
4.    Look up January in the months table: 6 (leap)
5.    Add all numbers from steps 1–4 to the day of the month (in this case, 1): 6+00+0+6+1=13.
6.    Divide the sum from step 5 by 7 and find the remainder: 13/7=1 remainder 6
7.    Find the remainder in the days table: 6=Saturday.
