The rule for Leap Years is: A leap year will occurr in every year that is divisible by 4, except Century Years {unless exactly divisible by 400}. During this century there will be no leap year in the year 2100 because it is not exactly divisible by 400. So there will be an 8 year period for that leap year. 2096 is a leap year, 2100 is not, 2104 is, so there is the 8 years. By the way, anyone born on February 29 is known as a Leapling.
every 4 years
There are 4 years between every leap year. Correction: There are 4 years between MOST leap years. That's the case 99.25% of the time. For the other 0.75% of the time, there are 8 years between leap years.
A leap year occurs every four years. The day when a leap year hasoccurred is on February 29.
Leap year usually occurs every four years.
We do not have a leap year every 7 years. It is every 4 years. It is possible that in a sequence of 7 years, that there is only one leap year in the middle of it. For example 2000 and 2008 were leap years, so in the intervening 7 years, there was only one leap year:2001200220032004 was a leap year.200520062007In order keep the calendar years synchronized there has to be a extra day added to February every 4 years. The other years that are not leap year are called common years.
Leap years come every 4 years
we have leap years because every year there is 6 extra hours so we times it by 4 which equals 24 hours so we have a leap year every 4 years .
there has been 503 leap years. Actually, there have been 488 leap years since 0 ad. You see, every year that is divisible by four, there is a leap year, but every year that is divisible by 4 AND 100, it isn't a leap year, and every year divisible by 4, 100 AND 400 is a leap year.
Generally, every fourth year is a leap year. However, "century" years like 1800 and 1900 are not leap years unless they are divisible by 400. So 2000 _was_ a leap year.
No, 1965 was not a leap year. Leap years occur every 4 years, with the exception of years that are divisible by 100 but not by 400.
2012 was a leap year (leap year happens every 4 years because a year is actually 365 1/4 years)
No, 1943 is not a leap year. Leap years occur every four years, but the year 1943 is not evenly divisible by 4.
