How do you find whether a year is leap year or not?
To check if a year is a leap year, divide the year by 4. If it is fully divisible by 4, it is a leap year. For example, the year 2016 is divisible 4, so it is a leap year, whereas, 2015 is not. However, Century years like 300, 700, 1900, 2000 need to be divided by 400 to check whether they are leap years or not.
How many leap years are between two dates?

How to determine if a year is a leap year?
To determine whether a year is a leap year, follow these steps: If the year is evenly divisible by 4, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5. If the year is evenly divisible by 100, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4. If the year is evenly divisible by 400, go to step 4.
How does the date function work in a leap year?
In the formula, year is passed into date unchanged, along with 2 for month (February) and 29 for the day. In leap years, February has 29 days, so the DATE function will simply return the date February 29 of the year.
How to find the date of a leap year in JavaScript?
Another alternative is to see if that year has the date of February 29th. If it does have this date, then you know it is a leap year. JavaScript is expected to be getting a new Date/Time API which exposes a new global object – Temporal. This global object provides JS devs with a nicer way to deal with dates/times.
When is a leap year not evenly divisible?
If a year is evenly divisible by 4, but it is not evenly divisible 100, then it is a leap year. If a year is divisible by both 4 and 100, then it might not be a leap year, and you will have to perform 1 more calculation to check. For example, 2012 is evenly divisible by 4, but not 100 since it results in a decimal answer (20.12).
