Determination of the day of the week *104804 + 4, "n" = 104804 and "k" = 4 which implies that August 13, 2009 is the fourth day into the 104805th week since 01/01/0001. 13 August 2009 is Thursday; therefore, the first day of the week must be Monday, and it is concluded that the first day 01/01/0001 of the calendar is "Monday". Based on this, the remainder of the ratio "Base/7", defined above as "k", decides what day of the week it is.
