if a year is a multiple of four, then it is a leap year, except for every 100 years. 2100 will not be a leap year for some weird scientifical reason. but every four hundred years, it will be a leap year.

e/i: 2400 will be a leap year.

just to make sure you have the right idea, 2016, 2020, 2024, etc. will all be leap years along with the next four years after each preceeding year until 2100, then the next leap year will be in 2104.

If the year number is divisible by 4, then it is a leap year, like 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012.

The year 2000 is special. If the year is divisible by 100 (last two digits are 00) then it is only a leap year if also divisible by 1000. So, the year 2000 is a leap year, but not 1800, 1900, 2100, etc. Hope this helps.
Divide the year no. by 4. like 2012/4. If there is no remainder then the year is leap year otherwise not

A year is a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4, unless it is evenly divisible by 100, in which case it is a leap year only if it is evenly divisible by 400.

Examples:

2012: evenly divisible by 4, not evenly divisible by 100 --> leap year

2014: not evenly divisible by 4 --> not a leap year

1900: evenly divisible by 4, evenly divisible by 100, NOT evenly divisible by 400 --> not a leap year

2000: evenly divisible by 4, evenly divisible by 100, evenly divisible by 400 --> leap year

Usually any year divisible by 4 is a leap year, with the exception that centenary years are not leap years unless divisible by 400.

2000, 2004, 2008, 1918 and so on are leap years.

Basically, the years divisible by 4 are leap years - with some expections at the end of centuries. So, the next leap year is 2012.
