The leap years are years when an extra day is added to the end of the shortest month, February, to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.
Ordinary Year, February has 28 days, whereas in the leap year, February has 29 days. And, February 29 is commonly referred to as leap day.
How to Calculate Leap Years?
These are the three rules to calculate leap years.

The year must be evenly divisible by 4.

The year must not be divisible by 100, then, it is a leap year.

The year is also evenly divisible by 400. Then, it is a leap year.
For example:
Let’s check this year 2024. 2024 is evenly divisible by 4 (2024 / 4 = 506) and this year is not divisible by 100 (2024/100 = 20.24). So, 2024 is a leap year.

Note: The highlighted and strikethrough Years like 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900, and 3000 are not leap years.
Why 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900, and 3000 are not a leap year?
Let’s do some Leap year calculation rules. The three rules are already explained above.
Here, I am going to tell you again in short. A leap year is a year that must be evenly divisible by 4 and 400 and must not be evenly divisibly by 100.
Let’s check each year which is not a leap year.
