I look at it this way:

-- There are 90,000 numbers with five digits. (100,000 minus 10,000 with less than 5 digits)

-- If the sum of the first 5 digits is odd, it can be made even by using 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9

for the 6th digit ... 5 choices.

-- If the sum of the first 5 digits is even, it remains even by using 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0

for the 6th digit ... 5 choices.

-- So, for any one of the 90,000 five-digit numbers, there are 5 choices for the 6th digit

that result in an even sum of all six.

-- So, there must be 450,000 suitable 6-digit numbers.
