How to extract day, month and year from integer (following 1900 date system)
You don't extract, you calculate or convert.
39083 (= 1/1/2007)
This is looking like the encoding used by Excel.
This kind of date coding is simply counting the number of days between a reference date and the date you want.

I am unable to think a logic for it.
The number of days in a year is known, the rules for leap year are known, the number of days in a month are known.
you just have apply the rules.
Train yourself with a sheet of paper and a pencil, solve sample dates by hand, the method you use is your algorithm.
HomeWork problems are simplified versions of the kind of problems you will have to solve in real life, their
purpose is learning and
practicing.
We do not do your HomeWork.
HomeWork is not set to test your skills at begging other people to do your work, it is set to make you think and to help your teacher to check your understanding of the courses you have taken and also the problems you have at applying them.
Any failure of you will help your teacher spot your weaknesses and set remedial actions.
Any failure of you will help you to learn what works and what don't, it is called 'trial and error' learning.
So, give it a try, reread your lessons and start working. If you are stuck on a specific problem, show your code and explain this exact problem, we might help.
As programmer,
your job is to create algorithms that solve specific problems and you can't rely on someone else to eternally do it for you, so there is a time where you will have to learn how to. And the sooner, the better.
When you just ask for the solution, it is like trying to learn to drive a car by having someone else training.
Creating an algorithm is basically finding the maths and make necessary adaptation to fit your actual problem.
