Example 6: Check whether the given year is a leap year.

(a) 2014 (b) 2016 (c) 1900 (d) 3200

Solution: (a) 2014

5 0 3
4 2 0 1 4

2 it is not a leap year.

(b) As 2016 ÷ 4 = 504, so it is a leap year.

only if it is divisible by 400.

(c) 1900
4
400 1 9 0 0

– 1 6 0 0 As 1900 is not divisible by 400,

3 0 0 it is not a leap year.
