To find the day just follow the steps:

1.Take the previous year of the date and divide it by 4.

2.Add the previous year with the remainder.

3.Count the number of days between the start of the year and the particular date.

4.Add it to the result obtained in step 3.

5.Divide it by 7 and find the remainder.

6.Using the remainder value find the day:

REMAINDER DAY

0 Saturday
1 Sunday
2 Monday
3 Tuesday
4 Wednesday
5 Thursday
6 Friday



For example:

Finding the day for the date 14th Feb, 2007:

1. Take previous year i.e. 2006 and divide it by 4. The answer is 501 (ignoring nos. after decimal place)

2. Then add 501 with 2006 which gives 2507.

3. Then count the days upto 14th Feb from 1st january which is 45 days.Add 45 with 2507 to obtain 2552.

4.Divide 2552 by 7 which gives 364 with 4 as remainder.

The remainder 4 specifies the Wednesday.

Hence the day is Wednesday.
