This post lets you to find the day when you were born & also the corresponding day for any date in any century!!As It needs some calculation have a scratch pad by your side.



Terms To Be Known:

Our ancestors designed Calender for only 400 years as it repeats the same for every mentioned time.The picture you see is nothing but the "Mayan Calender" which shows accurate time,date & year from when it was created(hmmm but it reads nothing at 21st dec 2012).No link with this post so cutting it down.
Odd days:
In a leap year-366 days,therefore 366/7 equals 52(in fact weeks) with two days left.These are termed as odd days in a leap year.
In a normal year-365 days,365/7 equals 52 weeks with a day to spare.
Therefore Odd days
In a leap year-2
In a normal year-1
Also multiples of 400 years have 0 odd days.
Everything goes well with an example.
Here's it for you:
15-8-1947
Year Calculation:
  • 1947 equals 1900 & 46 years
  • 1900/400 equals 1600 & 300 years
  • for 1600-odd days-0(as its a multiple of 400 thus it repeats) &
  • 300- 1 odd day(100-5 odd days,200-3,300-1 & 400-0)
  • 46/4 equals 11 leap years(22 odd days) (equaling to 22/7=1 odd day ) &
  • 35 normal years(35 odd days)(equaling to 35/7=0 odd days)
  • Total Odd Days till 1947 is 57/7 equaling to 1 odd day .
Total Number of odd days Corresponding to the year is 2(1+1).
Month & Day Calculation:
  • 1947 is not a leap year therefore 365 days.
  • Number of days completed till august ((dec)31+(nov)30+(oct)31+(sep)30+(aug)31 equals 153)365-153 equals 212.
  • Therefore till 15th of august 212+15 equals 227.
  • Number of odd days 227/7 equals 3 odd days.
Final Computation:
Total number odd days equals to 2(for year)+3(for month & date) 5 odd days.

No.of odd days & Corresponding Days
0-Sunday
1-Monday
2-Tuesday
3-Wednesday
4-Thursday
5-Friday
6-Saturday

Therefore 1947,15th of August was Friday.
