Is 2024 a Leap Year?
Answer: Yes, 2024 is a leap year.
To determine if a year is a leap year, several conditions must be met:
- The year must be evenly divisible by 4.
- If the year is evenly divisible by 100, it must also be evenly divisible by 400.
Applying these conditions to the year 2024:
- 2024 is divisible by 4, as 2024 ÷ 4 = 506.
- Since 2024 is not evenly divisible by 100, we don’t need to consider the second condition.
Therefore, 2024 meets the first condition for a leap year and is evenly divisible by 4, confirming that it is indeed a leap year. Leap years have 366 days instead of the usual 365, with February containing 29 days instead of 28.
