If 26th January, 2020 was a Sunday, then what day of the week was it on 16th March of that year?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the day of the week for 16th March 2020:

1. **Calculate the difference in days:**  
   - From 26th January to 16th March, the total number of days is:  
     - January: 5 days (26th to 31st inclusive).  
     - February (2020 is a leap year): 29 days.  
     - March: 16 days.  
     - Total = $$5 + 29 + 16 = 50$$ days.

2. **Find the remainder when dividing by 7 (days in a week):**  
   - $$50 \div 7 = 7$$ remainder $$1$$. This means the day moves forward by 1 day from Sunday.

3. **Determine the target day:**  
   - Starting from Sunday (26th January), moving forward by 1 day gives **Monday**.

Thus, the day of the week on 16th March 2020 was **Monday**.
