Not every year which is divisible by 4 is a leap year.
An end of a century i.e..100,200,300,400,1100,1200. Has to be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.
So, from the above, Only 400, 1200 are leap years.

Not each 100 years contain 24 leap year and 76 ordinary years.

The first year of the first century must be a leap year. So the first century contains 25 leap years.
