If 26 January 2023 was Thursday, then what day of the week was it on 26th January 2024?

The starting date is 26 January 2023, which was a Thursday.

The ending date is 26 January 2024.

---

The number of days between 26 January 2023 and 26 January 2024 is exactly 365 days.

This is because:

• We pass through the entire year 2023
• 2023 is not a leap year (not divisible by 4)
• Although 2024 is a leap year, we haven't reached February 29, 2024 yet

---

To find the day of the week, we need to find the remainder when 365 is divided by 7:

$365 = 7 \times 52 + 1$

This means 365 days = 52 complete weeks + 1 extra day

---

Starting day: Thursday (26 January 2023)

After 365 days (52 weeks + 1 day):

Thursday + 1 day = Friday

Therefore, 26 January 2024 was a Friday.

The answer is Option 1: Friday.
