To find the day of the week on January 4, 1904, we'll calculate from a known reference date.
January 1, 1900 was a Monday (known reference date).
Calculate the number of complete years from 1900 to 1904:
Years 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1903 need to be counted.
Check for leap years:
- 1900: Not a leap year (divisible by 100 but not by 400) → 365 days
- 1901: Not a leap year → 365 days
- 1902: Not a leap year → 365 days
- 1903: Not a leap year → 365 days
Total days in complete years =365×4=1460 days
Days from January 1, 1904 to January 4, 1904:
Number of days =3 days
Total days from January 1, 1900 to January 4, 1904:
=1460+3=1463 days
To find the day of the week, divide by 7:
1463÷7=209 with remainder 0
Since the remainder is 0, January 4, 1904 falls on the same day as January 1, 1900.
Therefore, January 4, 1904 was a Monday.
The answer is Option 2: Monday.
