was 5760 a leap year? Thanx
5760 was a leap year.
Here’s how you figure out whether a year is a leap year or not.
Take the year and divide it by 19. Look at the remainder of that calculation. If the remainder is 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17 or 19, that year is a leap year.
5771 modulo 19 = 14, and hence 5771 is a leap year.
