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 that for large years it may be possible to subtract 6300 or a multiple thereof before starting so as to reach a year which is within or closer to the table. To look up the weekday of any date for any year using the table, subtract 100 from the year, divide the difference by 100, multiply the resulting quotient (omitting fractions) by seven and divide the product by nine. Note the quotient (omitting fractions). Enter the table with the Julian year, and just before the final division add 50 and subtract the quotient noted above. Example: What is the day
