Best Answer

The modern civil/business calendar inserts February 29th in a leap year.

Every year divisible by '4' is a leap year, except for the last year of each Century ... 1800, 1900, 2000, etc.

For those in the USA, an easy way to remember leap years is: Presidential elections and Summer Olympics.

Leap Years are years divisible by four, with two exceptions. 1. "Century" year numbers (divisible evenly by 100) are not leap years. 2. Years divisible evenly by 400 ARE leap years. So years like 1992 and 1996 were leap years. Century years like 1900 or 2100 are NOT leap years. But 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be.
