If today is Wednesday, what day is it after 78 days?

Answer: Thursday

Weekdays repeat every 7 days. So we only need the remainder after dividing 78 by 7, then move forward that many days from Wednesday.

Quick rule: remainder = 78 mod 7 = 1 → move forward 1 day(s) from WednesdayThursday

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 78
Divide by 7 11 remainder 1
Remainder 1
Meaning: Jump whole weeks first (they don’t change the weekday), then move the remainder days.

Step 2: Move forward 1 day(s)

Start at Wednesday and count forward 1 step(s).

Step Weekday
0Wednesday (start)
1Thursday (result)
Final: Wednesday + 78 days = Thursday
