Step 1: Understand what a leap year is. A leap year is a year that has one extra day added to it, making it 366 days instead of the usual 365 days.
Step 2: Check if the year 2024 is a leap year. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but not divisible by 100, unless it is also divisible by 400.
Step 3: Divide 2024 by 4. Since 2024 ÷ 4 = 506, it is divisible by 4.
Step 4: Check if 2024 is divisible by 100. Since 2024 ÷ 100 = 20.24, it is not divisible by 100.
Step 5: Since 2024 is divisible by 4 and not divisible by 100, it is confirmed to be a leap year.
Step 6: Conclude that since 2024 is a leap year, it has 366 days.
Leap Year Calculation – Understanding that a leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years divisible by 100 but not by 400, resulting in 366 days.
