Weeks in a leap year?
I am pretty sure after every 4 years it is a leap year. I use a formula to find out whether it is the leap year or not.
In order to understand this, you need to download my flow chart above.
- Is the year divisible by 400? IF YES, then it is a leap year. Otherwise, go to Step2.
- Is the year divisible by 4? IF YES, then it’s not a leap year.
- Is the year divisible by 100? If YES, it is not a leap year. If it is a NO then it is a leap year.
Let me make it easier.
| 1 leap year | 366 days. |
| 1 week | 7 days. |
| 1 Leap Year | (366 days) / (7 days/week) |
| Approximately | 52.286 weeks. |
| Accurately | 52 full weeks & 2 additional days. |
