The years 1929, 1935, 1946, 1957, 1974, 1985, 1991, 2002 have the same calendar as 1963: they start on the same weekday and are common years too, so November 22 is a Friday in each of them.

How to work out that November 22, 1963 was a Friday

Zeller's congruence gives the weekday of any Gregorian date with a few sums:

  1. Day q = 22; month m = 11.
  2. Year of the century K = 63; century J = 19.
  3. q + ⌊13 × (m + 1) ÷ 5⌋ + K + ⌊K ÷ 4⌋ + ⌊J ÷ 4⌋ + 5 × J = 22 + 31 + 63 + 15 + 4 + 95 = 230.
  4. 230 divided by 7 leaves 6, and 6 stands for Friday (0 is Saturday, 1 Sunday, up to 6 for Friday).

DateMath's calculator gets the same answer another way, by counting the days from a fixed date and taking the remainder after whole weeks.

How DateMath finds the day of the week

DateMath counts the days from a fixed date to yours in the Gregorian calendar and takes the remainder after whole weeks, so every date in the years 1 to 9999 gets its weekday, leap days included. The same date is then numbered both ways: in the US, Sunday is day 1 of the week; in ISO 8601, Monday is day 1 and Sunday day 7. Today and tomorrow come from your device's date.

  • The Gregorian calendar. DateMath treats every date as a Gregorian date, with its leap-year rule: a year divisible by 4 is a leap year, except century years not divisible by 400, so 2000 had a February 29 and 2100 will not. Source: Gregorian calendar.
  • ISO 8601 week dates. DateMath numbers weeks by ISO 8601: weeks start on Monday, week 1 is the week with the year's first Thursday, and a year has 52 or 53 weeks. Source: ISO 8601.

DateMath's date math is tested against more than 100 cases worked out by hand. Every worked example and table on the site is computed with the same code the calculators run, so a page and its calculator can't disagree.
