A leap year is a year that is divisible by 400 or 4 but not 100 is 1600 a leap year?
Well if 1600 being divisible by 100 disqualified it as a leap year, that would contradict the rule that 400 is a leap year. So maybe a more explicit way to state the leap year rule would be: Is_Leap(year) = true: if 4 divides year OR 400 divides year false: All other cases. Hope this helps!
Was 1999 a leap year?
No it is not. A simple algorithm to check this is if the year is divisible by 4, but not by 100, then it is a leap year. Also if a year is divisible evenly by 400, then it is a leap year, but not all leap years are divisible by 400.
How many years after is a leap year?
A leap year is every 4 years, with the exception of years that can be divided by 100 and cannot be divided by 400. So 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was.
Was 1900 a leap year?
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.

What was the previous leap year?
The most recent leap year was in 2012. The next leap year is in 2016.You can tell if a year is a leap year using the following rule. The year is evenly divisible by 4. An except is if the year is also evenly divisible by 100 and not evenly divisible by 400. For example, the year 1900 is evenly divisible by 4 and 100 but not divisible by 400 so it was not a leap year. The year 2000 is evenly divisible by 4, 100, and 400 so it was a leap year.
Why is Leap Year sometimes every 8 years?
The rule for Leap Years is: A leap year will occurr in every year that is divisible by 4, except Century Years {unless exactly divisible by 400}. During this century there will be no leap year in the year 2100 because it is not exactly divisible by 400. So there will be an 8 year period for that leap year. 2096 is a leap year, 2100 is not, 2104 is, so there is the 8 years. By the way, anyone born on February 29 is known as a Leapling.
