Since earth takes a round of the sun in approximately in 365 days it was necessary to have some months of 30 days and some months of 31 days. If we would have had six months of 30 days and six months of 31 days the calendar year would have been of 366 days. So it was considered necessary to have made one of the 30 days month a month of 29 days. Since instead of December, February used to be the last month of the year during those days, the February was cut short to a month of 29 days. But it was realized that earth takes about 365.25 days to take one round of the sun. So Julius Caesar had introduced the concept of leap years by making February of 30 days once every four years.
But the month July named after the name of Julius Caesar was of 31 days and the month August named after the name of the Roman emperor Augustus was of only 30 days, the month of August was converted into a month of 31 days to please the emperor by making February a month of 28 days during non-leap years and of 29 days during the leap years. This arrangement would have been all right had the earth taken precisely 365.25 days to take a round of the Sun. But it was found that it took approximately 365.24 days only. So Gregory Pope made the leap years divisible by 400 non-leap years.
