Instructions( finding day,when u know the date)

1. 1 Let us look at the date March 4, 2027 as our example. 2. 2 The first step is to take the last two digits of the year and divide that number by 4 and drop the remainder. 27/4 = 6 with a remainder of 3, but since we don't consider the remainder, our answer to this step is simply 6. 3. 3 Now add the day of the month to that number. 6 + 4 = 10 (6 was our answer in step 1, and 4 is the day of March we are trying to figure). 4. 4 Now add the month's value to the answer in step 3 by referring to the key below. Jan=1 Feb=4 March=4 April=0 May=2 June=5 July=0 Aug=3 Sept=6 Oct=1 Nov=4 Dec=6 In our example, we would add 4 (value for March) to 10, which is the result in step 3. 4+10=14 5. 5

Now add the century code to the result in step 4 by using the key below. 1700's=4 1800's=2 1900's=0 2000's=6 2100's=4 2200's=2 2300's=0 In our example, we would add 6 (the century code for the 2000's) to the result in step 4, which was 14. 6+14=20 6. 6 Now take the result in step 5 and add the last two digits of our year, which is 2027, so we would use the number 27. 20+27=47 7. 7 Now divide the result in step 6 by 7. In our example, we would divide 47 by 7. This time, we need to know what the remainder is in our division problem. 47-7= 6 with a remainder of 5 (6 goes into 47 6 times with 5 left over, thus our remainder of 5). 8. 8 The final step is to take the remainder and apply it to the day of week key below. Sunday=1 Monday=2 Tuesday=3 Wednesday=4 Thursday=5 Friday=6 Saturday=0 Our remainder was 5, so that means that March 4, 2027 will fall on a Thursday!
