puts 'Please input the year for checking for Leap Year:'
STDOUT.flush
year = STDIN.gets.chomp.to_i

if year.modulo(4) == 0
if year.modulo(100) == 0
if year.modulo(400) == 0
puts 'It is a Leap Year'
else
puts 'It is not a Leap Year'
end
else
puts 'It is a Leap Year'
end
else
puts 'It is not a Leap Year'
end

Output:

Please input the year for checking for Leap Year:

I made use of the Ruby Manual under C:\ruby\doc\ProgrammingRuby.chm to find the modulo() function.
