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.

For example: 1900-2000 contain 25 leap year and 75 ordinary years.

Why 100 is not a leap year?

Vivek said:   9 years ago
Because 100 is not divisible by 400. If Every century year is divisible by 400 it means it is not leap year if it can't divisible by 400 it is a leap year.
