year 2000 is divisible by 4 without remainder-it is a leap year.3000 also having the property.but it is notwhy

Answer 1

Actually, I think 2000 wasn't a leap year because of some thing where we gain something small like 4 seconds every year on average (including leap years). So, I think that every 1000 years or so, a leap year is skipped.

As for your question, it was designed that way. Every 4th year is a leap year. If you want to look at it, every leap year works out the same in the math as 2000 and 3000. Other than that, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Answer 2

[edit] Leap year rules
In order to get a closer approximation, it was decided to have a leap day 97 years out of 400 rather than once every 4 years. To implement the model, it was provided that years divisible by 100 would be leap years only if they were divisible by 400 as well. [1] [2] So, in the last millennium, 1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not. In this millennium, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900 and 3000 will not be leap years, but 2400 and 2800 will be. The years that are divisible by 100 but not 400 are known as "exceptional common years". By this rule, the average number of days per year will be 365 + 1/4 - 1/100 + 1/400 = 365.2425.


yeah.. that's it...

Answer 3

A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing an extra day (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year, adds a 29th day to February in all years evenly divisible by 4, except for centennial years (those ending in -00), which receive the extra day only if they are evenly divisible by 400. Thus 1600, 2000 and 2400 are leap years but 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 and 3000 are not.

Answer 4

A year is a leap year if its number can be divided exctly by four, except years at the end of a century, which must be exactly divisible by 400. So 2000 is exactly divisible by 400 but 3000 is not.

Answer 5

The basic formula is: A year will be leap year, when it will be divisible by 400 or it will be divisible by 4 but not by 100.

Answer 6

a leap year will occur in a year if it is either divisible by four but not divisible by 1000 or if it divisible by 400. since 2000 is divisible by 4 and divisible by 1000, technically it should not be a leap year but since it is divisible by 400, thus it is a leap year. 3000 is not divisible by 400 and divisible by 1000, thus it is not a leap year..

Answer 7

for being a leap year a century should be divisible by 400

Answer 8

Rule of dividing by 4 does not apply in case of Century. In case of Century it must be divided by 400 without any remainder.

Answer 9

Who told you? It might be leap year also but rule of dividing year by 4 is not applicable for centuries.

Answer 10

By the gregorian calendar the years divisible by 400 is not a leap year cos i revolution is 365.248 yrs not 365.25 as we take it
