Which of the accompanying is not a leap year?
Answer: A
A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, except that a century year must also be divisible by 400.
- \( 800 \div 400 = 2 \) ✓
- \( 1200 \div 400 = 3 \) ✓
- \( 2000 \div 400 = 5 \) ✓
- \( 700 \div 400 = 1.75 \) ✗
So 700 is not a leap year, even though it is divisible by 4. The 400-year rule exists because the tropical year is a little under \( 365.25 \) days.
