Note
This method, as shown, is applicable and very easy for dates in the 1900s and the 2000s. All easily memorized.
If a date is early in the 1900s, or late in the 2000s then an alternate starting point can be used. The following can be substituted for 2024:
| 2024 – (4 x 28) | 1912 |
| 2024 – (3 x 28) | 1940 |
| 2024 – (2 x 28) | 1968 |
| 2024 – (1 x 28) | 1996 |
| 2024 + (1 x 28) | 2052 |
| 2024 + (2 x 28) | 2080 |
| 2024 + (3 x 28) | 2108 |
If a date is in the 1800s then an alternate starting point can be used and the day of the week must be incremented by 1. The following can be substituted for 2024:
| 2024 – (5 x 28) | 1884 |
If a date is in the 1700s then an alternate starting point can be used and the day of the week must be incremented by 2. The following can be substituted for 2024:
| 2024 – (8 x 28) | 1800 |
