Most years have 365 days but leap years have 366 days in them.

Leap years happen 97 years out of every 400, not once every 4 years as is commonly assumed.
This means that years that are divisible by 4 aren’t necessarily leap years.
Leap years are divisible by 4 unless the year is divisible by 100 and is also divisible by 400.
Therefore 1600 and 2000 were leap years and 2400 and 2800 will be too.
The years that aren’t leap years are called “common years”.
