Zeller's Rule Formula:

F = K + [(13xM - 1)/5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2C

K = Date => for 25/3/2009, we take 25
In Zellers rule months start from march.
M = Month no. => Starts from March.
March = 1, April = 2, May = 3
Nov. = 9, Dec = 10, Jan = 11
Feb. = 12
D = Last two digits of the year => for 2009 = 09
C = The first two digits of century => for 2009 = 20

Example: 25/03/2009
F = 25 + [{(13 x1)- 1}/5] + 09 + 09/4 + 20/4 - (2 x 20)
= 25 + 12/5 + 09 + 09/4 + 20/4 - 2x20
=25+2+09+2+5-40
[ We will just consider the integral value and
ignore the value after decimal]
= 43 - 40 =

5 = Friday
6 = Saturday
7 = Sunday
So it's Wednesday on 25th march, 2009.

If the number is more than 7, divide the no. by 7. The

remainder will give you the day.
