We need to refer to the mathematical definition of the word "even."
The most commonly accepted definition is that a number "a" is even if there exists an integer "n" which makes the following statement true:
a = 2 x n
0 is an integer. So let n = 0 in the above equation and we get:
0 = 2 x 0
So 0 satisfies the mathematical definition for being even.

Is zero an even or odd or prime number?
0 is an integer. 0 is an even number since it is divisible by 2. Since it is an even number, it is not an odd number. 0 is not prime, since it is divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself.
Which is the smallest even number?
2, if you're considering only positive numbers (numbers greater than 0) 0, if you're considering only non-negative numbers (numbers greater than or equal to 0) If negative numbers are allowed, then there is no smallest even number
How many odd numbers are there between 0 and 100?
There are 101 numbers between 0 and 100. Because it starts with an even number and ends with an even number, there is 1 less odd number than even. So 51 even and 50 odd.
