Question

Which of the following years are leap years?

$2012$ , $1999$ , $1800$ , $2100$ , $2000$ , $1600$ .

Accepted Answer

In the given question asked we have to find which of the following years are leap year.

There are $365$ days in a normal year and february has $28$ days and when february has $29$ days the year has $366$ days and the year is called leap year.

The given years are $2012$ , $1999$ , $1800$ , $2100$ , $2000$ , $1600$ .

To identify a leap year, we divide it by $4$ . If it is divisible by $4$ , it is a leap year. If a year ends with $00$ then it has to divisible by $400$ to be a leap year.

So, calculate the answer.

$2012 \div 4$ instead dividing $2012$ by $4$ we can use the method of checking divisibility of $4$ . If the last two digits that is $12$ are divisible by $4$ , then $2012$ is divided by $4$

Since, $2012$ is divided by $4$ , $2012$ is a leap year.

$1999 \div 4$ , $99$ is not divisible by $4$ so it is not a leap year.

$1800 \div 4$ the year is ending with $00$ so, it has to be divided by $400$ to be a leap year. $1800 \div 400$ .

$18 \div 4$ is not divided so it is not a leap year.

$2100 \div 400$ so, $21 \div 4$ it is not divisible so it is not a leap year.

$2000 \div 400$ so $20 \div 4 = 5$ it is divisible and it will be a leap year.

$1600 \div 400$ so $16 \div 4$ it is divisible and it is a leap year.

Hence, $2012$ are leap year.

Which of the following years are leap years?

$2012$ , $1999$ , $1800$ , $2100$ , $2000$ , $1600$ .
