Days in a year calculation

Gregorian calendar year

One calendar common year has 365 days:

1 common year = 365 days

One calendar leap year has 366 days:

1 leap year = 366 days

Leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years that are divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400.

So the mean length of the Gregorian calendar year is:

1 mean year = (365+1/4-1/100+1/400) days = 365.2425 days
