If today is Friday, what day is it after 42 days?

Answer: Friday

Weekdays repeat every 7 days. So we only need the remainder after dividing 42 by 7, then move forward that many days from Friday.

Quick rule: remainder = 42 mod 7 = 0 → move forward 0 day(s) from FridayFriday

Detailed Math (Step-by-Step)

We show the whole operation clearly (modulo 7).

Step 1: Find the remainder

Since weekdays repeat every 7 days: days mod 7 tells us how far to move forward.

Days 42
Divide by 7 6 remainder 0
Remainder 0
Meaning: Jump whole weeks first (they don’t change the weekday), then move the remainder days.

Step 2: Move forward 0 day(s)

Start at Friday and count forward 0 step(s).

Step Weekday
0Friday (start) (result)
Final: Friday + 42 days = Friday
