In a leap year, there must be 366 days instead of 365. In
a leap year, there is 1 extra day in the month of February. It occurs after
every four years. But it is quite difficult to know which is or will be a leap
year. Today, we will tell you and make you understand how knowing a year you have in your mind is a leap year or not. We will tell you a simple method to find whether a year is a leap
year or not.
How to find out whether a year is a leap year or not?
To find whether a year is a leap year or not just follow
the following steps:
1. Take any year randomly
2. Then divide that year by 4
3. If that year is divisible by 4 then that is a leap
year or else it is not.
An Example of determining whether a year is a leap year or not:
Example 1:
Find 2020 is a leap year or not?
Sol:
→ 2020 ÷4
→ 505 Ans
→ So, 2020 is a leap year.
Example 2:
Find 2018 is a leap year or not?
Sol:
→ 2018 ÷4
→ 505 Ans
→ So, 2020 is a leap year.
→ 504.5 Ans
→ Hence, 2018 is not a leap year.
