So funktioniert's

A year is a leap year if divisible by 4, except century years, which must be divisible by 400 (so 2000 was a leap year, but 1900 wasn't).

Why the century-year exception?

It corrects for the fact that a year is slightly less than 365.25 days — the extra rule keeps the calendar aligned with Earth's orbit over centuries.
