@All.
A year that is completely divisible by 4 is a leap year for eg.
1) 2004 ÷4= 501, Here Remainder is 0, hence 2004 is completely divisible by 4, & so the year 2004 was a leap year.
2) 2020÷4=505, Here Remainder is 0, hence 2020 is completely divisible by 4, & so the year 2020 was a leap year.
3) 2036÷4=509, Here Remainder is 0, hence 2036 is completely divisible by 4, & so the year 2036 will be a leap year.
But
2021÷4=505, Here Remainder is 1, hence 2021 is not completely divisible by 4, & so the year 2021 was not a leap year.
4) 1999÷4=499, Here Remainder is 3, hence 1999 is not completely divisible by 4, & so the year 1999 was not a leap year.
Conclusion: If the number is completely divisible by 4 then that year is a LEAP YEAR.

In the Gregorian calendar 3 criteria must be taken into account to identify leap years:
The year is evenly divisible by 4;
If the year can be evenly divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless;
The year is also evenly divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
This means that 800, 1200, 2000 are leap years, while 700, 600, 900 are NOT leap years.

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).
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).

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.

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.

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.
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.

All of these are leap years, the only criterion for a year to be a leap year is that it should be divisible by 4. We observe it every 4 years! check the previous years calendar guys and you'll see what I mean.

By reading above comment it can be concluded that leap years are those which are completely divisible by 4 and 400 too. It doesn't matter if it is divisible by 100 or not.

It's clear from formula.
(i). Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year if it is not a century.
(ii). Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
(i). Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year if it is not a century.
(ii). Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century 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.
