Question

Check whether the following years are Ordinary or Leap year?

$1994, 1985, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2100$

Accepted Answer

Given years are $1994, 1985, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2100$ and $2100$ .

A year which is divisible by $4$ is called leap year. But, the years which are multiples of $100$ are centurion year such as $1100, 1700$ etc. which must be divisible by $400$ to be a leap year.

So, $\frac{1994}{4} = 498.5$ , which is not divisible by $4$ , so it is not a Leap year.

$\frac{1985}{4} = 496.25$ , which is not divisible by $4$ , so it is not a Leap year.

$\frac{2000}{400} = 5$ , which is divisible by $400$ , so it is a Leap year.

$\frac{2007}{4} = 501.75$ , which is not divisible by $4$ , so it is not a Leap year.

$\frac{2010}{4} = 502.5$ , which is not divisible by $4$ , so it is not a Leap year.

$\frac{2100}{400} = 5.25$ , which is not divisible by $4$ , so it is not a Leap year.

So, $1994, 1985, 2007, 2010$ and $2100$ are Ordinary years whereas, $2000$ is a Leap year.
