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.
