In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a solar year is almost 6 hours longer than 365 days. Most years with numbers evenly devisible by 4 are leap years.
However, some exceptions to this rule are required since the duration of a solar year is slightly less than 365.25 days. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they areleap years.
So, 1492, being evenly divisible by 4 and evenly divisible by neither 100 nor 400 would have been a leap year, except that the Gregorian Calendar (which established leap years) did not become official until 1582.
So the answer is "no."
To determine the number of leap years since 1492 up to 2023, we first identify the leap year rule: a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, except for years divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400. From 1492 to 2023, there are 531 years. Calculating the leap years, there would be approximately 132 leap years in that span.
