Leap Years are years with numbers that are divisible by 4 .

Numbers that end with a 4 are not necessarily divisible by 4 .

Examples: 14, 34, 54, and 2014 are notdivisible by 4 .

Numbers that are divisible by 4 don't necessarily end with a 4 .

Examples: 12, 16, 20, and 2012 aredivisible by 4 .

If we only had Leap Years in years that end with a 4 , then we would

only have a Leap Year once every 10 years. That wouldn't do the job.

We need one every 4 years.
