In the Gregorian calendar, for a year to be a leap year, the year would have to be not only divisible by 4, but in the cases where the year is divisible by 100, to be divisible by 400, also. Therefore, 2000 was a leap year, but 2100, 2200, 2300 will not be leap years.
The most recent non-leap year that was divisible by 4 was in the year 1900. The next one will be the year 2100. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year
All of the Winter Olympics, since they occur in between leap years. Additionally, the 1900 Olympic Games were not held on a leap year, since 1900 technically was not a leap year.
1900 was not a leap year because it's evenly divisible by 100 but not evenly divisible by 400.
No. 1900 was not a leap year.To understand why you have to know the rules. The rules are:Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year (so 1900 would be leap year)Rule 1 does not apply if it is a centenary year eg 2000 (so 1900 isn't a leap year)Rule 2 does not apply if the centenary year is also divisible by 400 (this doesn't apply to 1900 so it still isn't a leap year)Rule 3 does not apply if the centenary year is divisible by 4000 (this doesn't apply to 1900 so it still isn't a leap year)This is all due to the fact that the year is 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes long. The minor adjustments make up for the errors that build up due to the extra bit of a day every year.
February 29, 1900, fell on a Wednesday. This is because a leap year occurs every four years, except for years that are divisible by 100 but not by 400. 1900 was not a leap year according to the Gregorian calendar, so February had only 28 days.

Yes - the previous multiple of 4, 1900, as a year divisible by 100, would also require to be divisible by 400 in order to be a leap year - which it is not. While 2000 is divisible by 400, 2100, 2200 and 2300 are not, and therefore none of those three will be a leap year. 1900 was also the last year of the 19t century, so 1904 would've been the first leap year ever of the 20th century regardless if 1900 was a leap year or not. Even if 1900 was a triple leap year because it was divisible by 475, anything else would've been ignored by the time 1905 came.
No. The year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4. However, it is divisible by 100, it must also be divisible by 400 to be a leap year. For example, 2000 was a leap year, but 1900 was not.
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.
All years divisible by 4 are leap years. Exceptions occur at the end of century: if the year is divisible by 100, it is not a leap year, unless it is also divisible by 400. Thus, 1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years, but 1600 and 2000 were leap years.All years divisible by 4 are leap years.

Yes, if the year is divisible by 4 then it is a leap year with this exception:A century year (year ending in 00) is only a leap year if it is divisible by 400So the years 1800, 1900, 3000 are not leap years, for example, but the year 1600, 2000 were leap years and the year 2400 will also be a leap year, if we are still using the same calendar then.
