No no @Saurabh you are wrong. Why because 2004 is a leap year? But it doesn't divided by 400.

So don't go in that way.

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.

700 must also be a leap year as it is divisible by 4.

For any leap year, century should be divide by 400 and non century years should be divide by 4.

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.

700 is a not leap year. leap year like 400, 800, 1200, 1400,1600 ........ etc.

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.

So why 700 is not a leap year because 700/4 = 175?

Whenever fully divisible is it leap year?

Ankita said:   1 decade ago
2004 is leap year .b'coz 2004/4=501.
That means it's fully divisible .
