A year is longer than 365 days so the need to add a leap year every 4 years. But it is slightly less than 365.25 days so you don't want every fourth year to be a leap year. The current solution is that every fourth year is a leap year except when it is a century (a year ending in 00). This is a leap year only if it is divisible by 400 and not otherwise. So 2100, a century but not divisible by 400, is not a leap year.

The year 2000 AD was a leap year. The general rule of thumb is that if the year is divisible by 4 then it is a leap year unless it is the start of a new century 1800,1900 etc). For the years ending 00 if the 1st two numbers are divisible by 4 then it is also a leap year.

Examples of Leap years :-

  • 1896 (96 divisible by 4)
  • 1904 (04 divisible by 4)
  • 1996
  • 2000 (20/4)
  • 2004
  • 2008
  • 2012
  • 2016
  • 2096
  • 2104
  • 2196
  • 2204
  • 2296
  • 2304
  • 2396
  • 2400 (24/4)
  • 2404 etc

Some examples of Non leap years

  • 1900 (19 not divisible by 4)
  • 2010 (10 not divisible by 4
  • 2011 (11 not /4)
  • 2013 (13 not /4)
  • 2100 (21 not /4)
  • 2200 (22 not /4)
  • 2300 (23 not /4)
  • 2500 (25 not /4)

Is the next leap year in 2100?

Yes, 2100 is the only year this century in which the every-four-year pattern of leap years will be broken. Then from 2104 until 2196 they will be every four years again. 2200 and 2300 will be regular years like 2100.


Will year 2100 be a leap year?

Nope. The first leap year of the 2100s will be the year 2104.


How will the year 2100 be?

The year 2100 is a non-leap year that begins and ends on a Friday (like 2010).


Most recent non-leap year that was divisible by 4?

The most recent non-leap year that was divisible by 4 was in the year 1900. The next one will be the year 2100. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year


When is the next leap year not an election year?

What is the program in c to check whether a year is leap year or not in simple way?

If the year divides evenly by 4 it's a leap year. If it's a century year it has to divide evenly by 400. 2000 was a leap year. 2100 will not be a leap year.


Will 2100 be a leap year and why?

What year is meant to be a leap year but isn't?

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.


Whether there is any relation with 400 and 100 with a leap year as it has with 4 to determine?

There will be a leap year every 4 years except if it is divisible by 100. However, if it is also divisible by 400, it will be a leap year. 2000 was a leap year because it is divisible by 400, but 2100 will not be a leap year.


Does that mean in year 2100 February has only 28 days as an additional adjustment?

2100 is not a leap year, as it has to be divisible by 400 if divisible by 100. So it will have 28 days.


Why arnt there leap days in years ending in double zeros?

There can be. Years divisible by 100, but not by 400 are not leap years. So 1900 was not a leap year and 2100 will not be a leap year. The year 2000 was a leap year, because it was divisible by 400. So some double zero years can be a leap year. The next will be 2400.
