Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the years listed (1000, 1492, 1600, 1776) were leap years. According to the Gregorian calendar, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4. However, years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. Therefore, 1600 was a leap year, as well as the other years listed, because they are divisible by 4.
