Take the last two digits of the year and add 1/4 of it to the same. Ignore the r
emainder.
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
