![sum will be the year of the Christian era, and the day of the year will be found by multiplying the decimal figures by 365. The result may sometimes differ a day from the truth as the intercalary days do not occur simultaneously; but as the day of the week can always be accurately obtained from the foregoing table, the error, if any, can be readily adjusted. Example.—Required the date on which the year 1362 of the Hegira begins. 970224 1362 1940448 5821344 2910672 970224 1321-445^ 621-5774 1943 0225 365 1125 1350 675 8-2125 ] Thus the date is the 8th day, or 8 January, of the year 1943. To find, as a test, the accurate day of the week, the pro- posed year of the Hegira divided by 30 gives 45 cycles and remainder 12, the year of the current cycle. Also 45 diAuded by 7 leaves a remainder 3 for the number of the period. Therefore, referring to 3 at the top of the table and 12 on the left, the required day is Friday. The tables, pages 146-7, show that 8 Jan. 1943 is a Friday; therefore the date is exact.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b24859795_0191.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
