A year is a leapyear if it is divisible by 4, unless it's also divisible by 100, in which case it's not, unless it's also divisible by 400, in which case it is. 2008.

I was going to say that Leap Years occur every four years, and so if you look back at when the last Leap Year was, and add four, you'd have your answer. But, since I know they are on even numbered years, and 2006 was NOT a Leap year, that means that 2004 WAS a Leap Year. Adding 4 to 2004 gives you 2008, and that number seems to correlate with the answer your first two respondents gave you. I'd bet on 2008 as the next Leap Year. God Bless you.

2008 will be the next leap year.
Any year in which the last two digits are even multiples of four is a leap year, except for some century years. I THINK that century years are not leap years unless the first two numbers are even multiples of 4. If so, then 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was and the next would be 2400 (for the centuries).
It's all tied to the revolution of the earth around the sun. It is approximately 365 1/4 years, but not exactly. So, to account for the "not exactly" part, certain century years that should be leap years otherwise are not.

Leap years are divisible by 4, so 2008.

every year divisible by 4 is the leap year. therefore 2008 is the next leap year.

FYI, Leap Year occurs in EVERY year that is divisible by 4. Therefore, the year 2008 is divisible by 4 and the next Leap Year.

Zeller's congruence is a formula to calculate the day of the week for a given date. if feb 29 and mar 1 of a given year result in the same day of the week, then that year is not a leap year.
