Using 5th June 2022 (a Sunday) as our reference date, let’s determine which date in June 2099 will fall on a Sunday.
Step-by-Step Calculation
-
Counting the Years and Days:
The difference between 2022 and 2099 is 77 years.
Each ordinary year adds 1 day to the calendar, and each leap year adds 2 days.
Among these 77 years, we have 58 normal years and 19 leap years (since a leap year occurs every 4 years, 77÷4=19).
-
Calculating Total Days Added:
Days added by normal years: 58×1=58
Days added by leap years: 19×2=38
Total days added = 58+38=96
-
Finding the Day of the Week in June 2099:
Dividing 96 by 7 gives a remainder of 5, meaning 5 extra days beyond a full week cycle.
Starting from 5th June 2022 (a Sunday) and adding 5 days brings us to Friday.
Therefore, 5th June 2099 will fall on a Friday.

Finding the Nearest Sunday in June 2099:
