Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year except for years that are exactly divisible by 100 (even centuries)
Centurial years that are exactly divisible by 400 are still leap years. For example, the year 1900 (centurial year) was not a leap year, the year 2000 (centurial year divisible by 400) was a leap year.
The Gregorian solar calendar is an arithmetical calendar.
It counts days as the basic unit of time, grouping them into years of 365 or 366 days and repeats completely every 146,097 days which fill 400 years, Which also happens to be 20,871 seven-day weeks.
Of these 400 years, 303 (the "common years") have 365 days, and 97 (the leap years) have 366 days.
This gives an average year length of exactly 365.2425 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds.

Bee in my bonnet about the spelling on here this morning, sorry.
HOW, somebody tell me, can you think "their" is the right version to use when asking "If there are..."?? No offence but do you read absolutely nothing of any substance, or just not notice the words in front of you?

Another forum I'm on is much more **** about it and rightly so IMO, some peoples spelling is absolutely atrocious!
Grammar is where I normally fall down.

Chunky, sorry to butt in AGAIN, but it's too subtle, right? You know that, right? Or you don't? There's a difference between to and too, yeah?
