What years are leap years? How do I find the day of the week for any date?

Answer 1

Every 4 years is a leap year. 2008, 2012, 2016 etc.

Answer 2

actually it is very easy to find the day of the week without looking at the calendar.first of all all the years divisible by four are leap years except if the year is divisible by 100.but again all the years divisible by 400 are leap years.

coming to how to find the day, just add up all the days upto that day ex. 14/1/1991 all the days upto this date from the first day of the millineum i. e. 01/01/0001.

another simpler method is that ignore all the years that are divisible by 400 like 1200 1600 2000 etcu don't have to count the days until these many years just start from the next day of these years.(don't forget the leap years)

then divide the no of days by 7 and the remainder tells u the day.

if the remainder is 0 then it is a sunday 1 monday 2 tuesday....................6 saturday.find out and have fun

Answer 3

Leap years are every 4 years

Answer 4

Which years are leap years depends on the calendar you use. By the Gregorian calendar, years that are divisible by 4 are leap, unless they're divisible by 100, when they're not, unless again they're divisible by 400.

In the Julian calendar, it's simply years divisible by 4.

To find out what day a given date is, first define the calendar, then look at places like http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/zeller-c.htm
