The two algorithms, worked for 2032
- Western: the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm
a=18 b=20 c=32 d=5 e=0 f=1 g=6 h=6 i=8 k=0 l=0 m=0h + l − 7m + 114 = 120, and 120 ÷ 31 = 3 remainder 27: month 3, day 27 + 1. March 28- Orthodox: Meeus’s Julian algorithm
a=0 b=2 c=18 d=27 e=1d + e + 114 = 142, and 142 ÷ 31 = 4 remainder 18: Julian April 19. Plus 13 days: May 2
