According to the Gregorian Calendar, leap years usually occur every 4th year but are skipped every 100 years unless the year is divisible by 400. 400, 800, 1200, 1600, and 2000 ARE leap years but 100, 200,300, 500 . are not. Thus 2000 is a leap year but 1900 and 2100 are not. A four-century period will be missing 3 of its 100 Julian leap years, leaving 97. So the average year has 365 + 97/400 = 365.2425 days.
