Shortcut To Find Day of Any Given Date:-: Code For Month Month

This document provides a shortcut method for determining the day of any given date between 1900 and 2100. It involves assigning numeric codes to months, calculating the year value, determining if it is a leap year, adding all the values together and dividing by 7 to get the remainder. The remainder corresponds to the day of the week, with 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, etc. Two examples are provided to demonstrate how to use the method to find the day of a given date.

Shortcut to find day of any Given date:-


Code for Month Month
0 Jan, Oct
1 May
2 Aug
3 Feb, March, Nov.
4 June
5 Sep, dec
6 April, July.

If year is less than 2000, then consider only last 2 digit of that year & if year is equal to or more than 2000,
then subtract 1900 from that given year.
It mean for 1914  Take (14) as value of the year
& for 2014  Take (2014 – 1900 = 114) as value of year.
As we know, leap year comes after every 4 years. So to know leap year value, just divide year by 4.
Date  Month  Year  Leap Year
So now Trick is = & then find Remainder..
7
if Remainder is 1 (it is 1st day of week – monday)
if Remainder is 2 (day is Tuesday)
if Remainder is 3 (day is Wednesday)
if Remainder is 4 (day is Thursday)
If Remainder is 5 (day is Friday)
if Remainder is 6 (day is Saturday)
& if Remainder is 0 (then day is Sunday)
Note:- This trick is only to find the day of the year between 1900 & 2100

e.g. I. What was day on 15th Aug 1947 ?


Date  15
Month  2 (code for Aug)
Year  47 (last 2 digit of 1947)
leap year  11 (47 ÷ 4 = 11 as Quoitent)
Add all these 4 values = 75
& then divide by 7 & we will get Remainder 5 so day on 15th August 1947 is friday

e.g. II. What was day on 27th Jan 2015 ?


Date  27
Month  0 (code for Jan)
Year  115 (2015 – 1900 = 115)
leap year  28 (115 ÷ 4 = 28 as Quoitent)
Add all these 4 values = 170
& when 170 is divided by 7, Remainder is ‘2’ so day was Tuesday.
