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:

1. The year must be evenly divisible by 4.
2. If the year is evenly divisible by 100, it must also be evenly divisible by 400.

Applying these conditions to the year 2024:

1. 2024 is divisible by 4, as 2024 ÷ 4 = 506.
2. 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.
