What is a Leap Year?

A leap year is a year containing an extra day (February 29th) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.

Rules for Leap Years:

  • The year must be evenly divisible by 4;
  • If the year can also be evenly divided by 100, it is not a leap year;
  • UNLESS the year is also evenly divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
