Why do odd numbers can go into even numbers but even numbers don't go into odd numbers?

All even numbers have 2 as a factor - that is in their definition
No odd numbers have 2 as a factor - that is in theirs.
Trying to divide 2, or any multiple of it, into a number that by definition cannot be divided by 2, is a hopeless endeavour.
There is no guarantee that you can divide an even number by an odd one, but it is not impossible.

How could you determine whether a sum of numbers such as 127 plus 38 is even or odd?
The parity rules are: Odd + Odd = Even Even + Even = Even Odd + Even = Odd Even + Odd = Odd So the parity where one number is even is that of the other number. This means that you can go through a list of numbers and ignore all the even numbers. Every PAIR of odd numbers has even parity and by the previous paragraph, even parity can be ignored. So you can pair off odd numbers and ignore them.
All even natural numbers less than 99?
No, they go on forever - so there is no largest natural number, even or odd.
How do you find the odds in math?
Well, you start off with 1 and go up by 2 each time to miss out the even numbers. Also, all odd numbers end in one of the first 5 odd numbers, which are:1, 3, 5, 7, 9Schools should teach you ODD's and EVEN's at a young age - It's Year 3 stuff.Hope this answer helps though. :D
Is it true that if you add any 2 prime numbers you get an even number?
Yes, think about it...you can't have an even prime number(except 2), as it would be divisible by two..So all primes must be odd, and odd + an odd always = an evenThere ya go :)

How can you determine wether a sum of several numbers such as 13 45 24 17 is even or odd?
Go through each of the numbers, and count how many of them are odd. If you count an odd number of them, then their sum is odd. If you count an even number of them, then their sum is even.
What are the largest odd number?
