Let's expand this article[edit]
I searched but could not find a "time-stub" tag; this article probably needs one. I intend to expand this article "over time" (no pun intended). ProfessorPaul (talk) 19:13, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Content[edit]
Why does this article mention "a century also with over 36K days"? What century had less than 36k days? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oltemative (talk • contribs) 00:34, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- A century always has either 36,524 or 36,525 days. A century ending with a century leap year has 36,525 days, while other centuries have 36,524 days. GTrang (talk) 15:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Terminology[edit]
The topic is an end-of-century leap year. Centuries start on xx01, not xx00.

Comment[edit]
A century leap year of the Gregorian calendar is the last year of any century that is evenly divisible by 400; other century years divisible by 100 but not by 400 are common years. For example, 1600 and 2000 were century leap years; the century years of 1700, 1800, and 1900 were common years. The next century leap year will occur in 2400. Century leap years always start on a Saturday, and the resulting part of February 29 intercalation in these days is always a Tuesday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.97.150.107 (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
