How?
Solution :
To calculate the Year Code, use this formula:
(YY + (YY div 4)) mod 7
The Month Code
This is easy — just memorize the number 033614625035:
January = 0
February = 3
March = 3
April = 6
May = 1
June = 4
July = 6
August = 2
September = 5
October = 0
November = 3
December = 5
So firstly, we have to calculate codes to find out the day.

Concept:
We have to find the number of odd days till 1862 from 1600 assuming the number of odd days in 1600 years is 0.
The codes for days are,
- Sunday - 0
- Monday - 1
- Tuesday - 2
- Wednesday - 3
- Thursday - 4
- Friday - 5
- Saturday - 6
There is 5 odd days for each century.
Odd days equals the remainder in the division of the number of days by 7 (since 1 week = 7 days)
Given:
Given the date is 12th January 1863.
Find:
We have to find the day of the week for above mentioned date in that year.
Solution:
Up to 1600 there is 0 odd days
Up to 1800, the number of odd days = 5*2 = 10/7 = 3 days (since 1800-1600 = 200 years = 2 centuries)
Up to 1863, there is more 63 years in that 62 years, there is 15 leap years and 47 ordinary years.
Number odd days in each ordinary year is 1 and for leap year the same is 2.
So the number of odd days in that = 15*2 + 47*1 = 30+47 = 77/7 = 0 odd days.
Up to 12 th January there are 12 days so number of odd days = 12/7 = 5
So the total number of odd days = 3 + 0 + 5 = 8/7 = 1
So according to code the day for 12th January 1863 is Monday.
Hence 12th January 1863 was on (1) Monday.
