There are 39 glyphs (symbols) on the stargate. After Daniel "discovers" the 7th symbol in the dialing sequence, and they dial the first six, the technician comments that six symbols was as far as they'd ever gotten in the (minimum) three years they'd been working on the device. With only 39 possible options for the 7th symbol, using simple trial and error, they would've discovered the 7th within 39 attempts (33 assuming no repeats in the sequence). At just one attempt per day, and they would've figured it out in a month. The same thing applies to the gate on Abydos - they knew the first six. Even though the 7th was worn off, there were only 39 possibilities.
