A leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs 97 times in every 400-year period, making the average length of a Gregorian calendar year 365.2425 days. The leap years are years that are evenly divisible by 4 with the exception of the last year of each of the first three centuries of every 400-years. So leap years are usually every four years, but most years that end with a double-zero are skipped.

Here is a guide to help you determine if a year is a leap year:

Is the year an even number?

No: It is NOT a leap year.

Yes: Is the year evenly divisible by 4?

No: It is NOT a leap year.

Yes: Is the year evenly divisible by 100?

No: It IS a leap year.

Yes: Is the year evenly divisible by 400?

No: It is NOT a leap year.

Yes: It IS a leap year.

Leap Year happens in every year whose number is evenly divisible by four, except for century years that are divisible by 100. However, if the year is divisible by 400, then it IS a leap year.
