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. If "k" = 0, it's Monday, "k" = 1, it's Tuesday, etc. Determination of the day of the week The determination of the day
Determination of the day of the week week is where the positive modulus is chosen. The value of is obtained from the following table: The value of is obtained from the following table, which depends on the calendar. For the Gregorian calendar, For the Julian calendar, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) devised a method resembling a puzzle, yet partly tabular in using the same index numbers for the months as in the "Complete table: Julian and Gregorian calendars" above. He lists the same three adjustments for the first three months of non-leap years, one 7 higher for the last, and gives cryptic instructions for finding the rest;
