700 is not leap year because 700 is divisible by 4 but 4 is not divisible by 2 that's why its no.

The years which are divisible by both 100 and 4 but not divisible by 400 are not leap year.
Hence 1700, 1300 are not leap year.
Hence 1700, 1300 are not leap year.

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.

@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.

=> Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, if it is not a century.
=> Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
=> Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
