263 MOD 7 = 4
(263 = 7*37 + 4)
--> Friday

It will be monday again if the remainder
is zero when you divide by 7
+263%2F7+=+37+ plus a remainder of 4
so, +263+-+4+=+259+
+259%2F7+=+37+ with remainder of zero
259th day is monday
260th day is tuesday
261st day is wednesday
262nd day is thursday
263rd day is friday
