Home Weekday Before If today is Sunday, 63 days before

If today is Sunday, what day was it 63 days before?

Answer: Sunday

Weekdays repeat every 7 days. So we only need the remainder after dividing 63 by 7, then move backward that many days from Sunday.

Quick rule:
remainder = 63 mod 7 = 0
move backward 0 day(s) from Sunday
Sunday

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 many steps to move backward.

Days 63
Divide by 7 9 remainder 0
Remainder 0
Meaning: Jump whole weeks first (they don’t change the weekday), then move the remainder days backward.

Step 2: Move backward 0 day(s)

Start at Sunday and count backward 0 step(s).

Step Weekday
0Sunday (start) (result)
Final: Sunday − 63 days = Sunday
