How many leap years are there between 2000 and 2020?
Correct Answer: 5
Step 1: Understand what a leap year is. A leap year is a year that is divisible by 4, except for years that are divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400.
Step 2: List the years from 2000 to 2020. The years are 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Step 3: Check each year to see if it is a leap year. Start with 2000: it is a leap year because it is divisible by 4.
Step 4: Continue checking the next years: 2001 (not a leap year), 2002 (not a leap year), 2003 (not a leap year), 2004 (leap year), 2005 (not a leap year), 2006 (not a leap year), 2007 (not a leap year), 2008 (leap year), 2009 (not a leap year), 2010 (not a leap year), 2011 (not a leap year), 2012 (leap year), 2013 (not a leap year), 2014 (not a leap year), 2015 (not a leap year), 2016 (leap year), 2017 (not a leap year), 2018 (not a leap year), 2019 (not a leap year), and 2020 (leap year).
Step 5: Count the leap years found: 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. There are 6 leap years in total.
Leap Year Calculation – A leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years divisible by 100 unless they are also divisible by 400.
