Applicable years

Gregorian Calendar

Leap years starting on a Friday, along with leap years that start on Sunday, occur most frequently of all the leap years (15 times out of the 97 total leap years) in a 400-year cycle (20871 weeks) in the Gregorian calendar. Thus, the overall frequency is 3.75% (15 out of 400) or approximately 15.5% (15 out of 97) if just leap years are taken into consideration.

Julian Calendar

Like all leap year types, the one starting with 1 January on a Friday occurs exactly once in a 28-year cycle in the Julian calendar, i.e. in 3.57% of years. As the Julian calendar repeats after 28 years that means it will also repeat after 700 years, i.e. 25 cycles. The year's position in the cycle is given by the formula ((year + 8) mod 28) + 1).
