How to Calculate the Day of the Week for Any Date
To calculate the day of the week for any date, you can use the following formula:
h = (d + 2*m + 3*(m+1)/5 + y + y/4 - y/100 + y/400) mod 7
where:
- h is the day of the week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, …, 6 = Saturday)
- d is the day of the month (1-31)
- m is the month (1 = January, 2 = February, …, 12 = December)
- y is the year
For example, to calculate the day of the week for May 3rd, 2024, we would use the following formula:
h = (3 + 2*5 + 3*(5+1)/5 + 2024 + 2024/4 - 2024/100 + 2024/400) mod 7
h = (3 + 10 + 3*6/5 + 2024 + 506 - 20 + 5) mod 7
h = (3 + 10 + 3*1 + 2024 + 506 - 20 + 5) mod 7
h = (3 + 10 + 3 + 2024 + 506 - 20 + 5) mod 7
h = (2548) mod 7
h = 5
Therefore, May 3rd, 2024 falls on a Friday (5).
