What is a factor? It is a whole number that divides another without any remainder.
So what are the factors of 70?
1 x 70 = 70
2 x 35 = 70
5 x 14 = 70
7 x 10 = 70
10 x 7 = 70
14 x 5 = 70
35 x 2 = 70
70 x 1 = 70
so the factors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70
So the factors themselves are both even (2, 10, 14, 70) and odd. (1, 5, 7, 35)..
However, the number of factors is even (there are 8 of them).
The number of factors for all numbers will be even exceptfor those numbers which are perfect squares, when it will be odd, eg 36:
1 x 36 = 36
2 x 18 = 36
3 x 12 = 36
4 x 9 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
9 x 4 = 36
12 x 3 = 36
18 x 2 = 36
36 x 1 = 36
So the factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 - nine of them.
48 has both even and odd factors.

Even numbers must have 2 amongst their factors; they may have other even numbers amongst their factors. Odd numbers must not; every factor of an odd number must be odd.
The number of factors can be either even or odd.
The odd factors of 70 are: 1, 5, 7, and 35. The sum of these factors is 48.
All nonzero numbers have factors. Some factors are even numbers, some factors are odd numbers.
The factors of 70 are: 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, and 70. 2, 10, 14, and 70 are even numbers. 1, 5, 7, and 35 are odd numbers. Looks like a pretty even split.

The odd positive integer factors of 70 are: 1 5 7 35 The sum of these factors is 1 + 5 + 7 + 35 = 48
Some even numbers have more factors than some odd numbers and some odd numbers have more factors than some even numbers. As a group, even numbers have more factors than odd numbers.
Some even numbers have more factors than some odd numbers and some odd numbers have more factors than some even numbers. As a group, even numbers have more factors than odd numbers.
Even numbers must have 2 amongst their factors; they may have other even numbers amongst their factors. Odd numbers must not; every factor of an odd number must be odd.
