To mentally calculate the day of the week for Julian calendar requires changing the century code as follows: deduct the first two numbers of the year from 18. after deducting the highest multiple of 7 from this number the resulting number will be the correct century code to use for the Julian calendar. i.e. the code for 400 A.D. would be 18-4=14 deduct 14=0. For 900 A.D. 18-9=9 deduct 7=2. Other codes are the same as those used for Gregorian calendar. Gregorian century codes which repeat continually every 400 yrs [ i.e. 6-4-2-0----6 if first two numbers are evenly divisible by 4 followed by 4-2-0-for each successive number] will work back to Sept 14 1752, then from Sept 2 1752 back to 4 A.D. the above adjustment is required. [ie the century code for 1752 is 4 back to Sept 14 and changes to 1 on and prior to Sept 2.
