Nor do you, apparently. An even number is a number divisible by 2 - that is, if you do integer division, there will be no remainder; if you do the division with a calculator, you don't get anything after the decimal point. Even numbers end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. Odd numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
Odd numbers do NOT have a factor of 2. When an Even number is divided by an Odd number with no remainder, the prime factors of the divisor cancel out the prime factors of the dividend, but there will be no prime 2 to cancel the prime factor of 2 in the dividend leaving the the quotient to have a factor of 2, and so will be Even. --------------------------------------------------------- Alternatively, consider what happens when you multiply Odd and Even numbers: Odd × Odd = Odd Odd × Even = Even Even × Even = Even The result is Even ONLY if at least one of the numbers multiplied together is Even. Thus if you divide an Even number by an Odd number, the result must be Even. Also consider that Odd times Odd is Odd. Multiplication is the inverse of division, so if you have: dividend ÷ divisor = quotient then dividend = quotient × divisor Now, if the divisor is Odd and the quotient is Odd, the the Dividend MUST be Odd (since Odd × Odd = Odd). Thus if the Dividend is Even and the Divisor is Odd, then the Quotient must be Even.
Odd. Even + Even = Even Odd + Odd = Even Odd + Even = Even + Odd = Odd
If it can be divided by 2 with no remainder then it is an even number.
odd * odd = odd answer even * even = even answer odd * even = even answer
even times even = even odd times even = even odd times odd = odd
Yes. Even + Even = Even, Odd + Odd = Even and Even + Odd or Odd + Even = Odd
No. Sum of odd + odd = even Sum of odd + even = odd Sum of even + even = even
(7 - 2)/0.5 = 10 Neither 2 nor 0.5 are odd numbers, but 10 is even.
Always. even + even = even odd + odd = even even + odd = odd odd + even = odd To summarise, if you add like numbers you get even, otherwise you get odd.
even times even = even odd times even = even odd times odd = odd
it is even
