A century leap year is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar that is evenly divisible by 400. [1] Like all leap years, it has an extra day in February for a total of 366 days instead of 365. In the obsolete Julian calendar, all years that were divisible by 4, including end-of-century years, were considered leap years. The Julian rule, however ...

A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year that contains an additional day (or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar, a month) compared to a common year. The 366th day (or 13th month) is added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year . [ 1 ]
For example, any year that is evenly divisible by 4,000 is automatically a common year, and century years are only considered leap years if they can be evenly divided by 400.
Caesar created a new Julian calendar for Rome that measured a year as 365.25 days long, as the original Roman year was 10 days shorter than a modern year. The seasons were thrown off as a result ...
A year may be a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4. Years divisible by 100 (century years such as 1900 or 2000) cannot be leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. (For this reason ...
The rule for leap years is: Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100, but these centurial years are leap years if they are exactly divisible by 400. For example, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years, but the year 2000 is. —
