879 weeks ago from today was 23 Jan 2008, a Wednesday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2024. It looks like 879 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2023 and we’ll need to factor this into our subtraction because it will change the calendar and fiscal years. For larger calculations like this, I start by subtracting total days, then counting backwards 6153 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Wednesday January 23, 2008.

How we calculated 879 weeks before today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 879 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

We started with date inputs: used current day of 27 Nov, then set the calculation - 879 weeks, and factored in the year 2024
Noted your current time of year: 879 weeks in November will bring us back to October or further.
Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 27 Nov, factoring in the 27 days left in November to calculate Wednesday January 23, 2008
Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Ways to calculate 879 weeks ago

Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 879 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 27 days in November + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
Use November's calendar: Begin by identifying 27 Nov on a calendar, note that it’s Wednesday, and the total days in October (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until last year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count backwards 879 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-879 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -879, cell:cell) for working weeks.

Working weeks in 879 calendar weeks

879 weeks is Wednesday January 23, 2008 or could be if you only want workdays. This calculation takes 879 weeks and only subtracts by the number of workdays in a week. Remember, removing the weekend from our calculation will drastically change our original Wednesday January 23, 2008 date.
