To calculate the numerical portion of the Tzolkʼin date, add 4 to the total number of days given by the date and then divide total number of days by 13. (4 + 1,383,136) / 13 = 106,395 (and 5/13) This means that 106,395 whole 13 day cycles have been completed and the numerical portion of the Tzolkʼin date is 5.

These 'extra' days are thought to be unlucky. The year was broken into 18 periods of twenty days each, sometimes compared to the Julian month. The Nahuatl word for moon is metztli but whatever name was used for these periods is unknown. Through Spanish usage, the 20-day period of the Aztec calendar has become commonly known as a veintena.
The tabular Byzantine calendar is used to calculate the date of Easter. It dates back to AD 284, when the new moon fell on the fifth epagemonal day of the Alexandrian calendar (28 August). Eusebius (vii.32) recounts that Anatolius of Laodicea was the first to arrange the 19-years cycle (when the new moon returns to the same Julian date) for ...
