Divide the year by 4. If the remainder is 0, the year is said to be divisible by 4.

Leap years are years divisible by 4, unless the year is divisible by 100, except when the year is divisible by 400. Thus, 1896 was a leap year, but 4 years later, 1900 was not a leap year because even though it is divisible by 4, it is also divisible by 100. 1996 was a leap year and so was 2000 because in addition to being divisible by 4 and 100, 2000 is also divisible by 400.
