If the year is century years like 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. 1600, 2000 then we should divide them by 400 (not 4) through we can get Leap year. Thanks.

Hi Friends ,

If you find problems to check weather year is leap or not then check following conditions :

If any year is divisible by (a)4 and (b)100 and (c) 400 then we can say that year is leap else not.

Year divisible by 4 are leap yr, except yrs divisible by 100 unless it is divisible by 400.
Eg. 2004 is divisible by 4. so it is a leap year.
700 are divisible by 4, but also by 100. So check 2nd condition by 400. 2100 are not divisible by 400. So not a leap year.

Let's say 696 which is divisible by 4 is a leap year and so 704.

If 700 is not a leap year then that makes it 8 years gap between those two consecutive leap years. Which is against the fact that Every 4th year is a leap year.

Every 4th century is a leap year and as we know that 2000 is a leap year so accordingly next 1600, 1200, 800, 400 are a leap year. 700 is not including in this series.

All answers are leap years.

Dates before 1582-10-15 belong to the Julian calendar.
There the leap years are year decided by 4.
So, answers A to C is leap years.

You are right @Nishant.

500 is not leap year because it is not divisible by 400.

2016 is leap year. Because it is divisible by 4.

For finding a year is leap year or not follow 2 conditions.

1. If the given year is perfect century divide it must be divisible by 400.
2. If the year is not perfect century then it must be divisible by 4.

If not divisible then given year is not leap year, the perfect century are like( 100, 200, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000).
