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.


How can you determine wether a sum of several numbers such as 13 45 24 17 is even or odd?

How you find paired number?

Paired numbers refer to two numbers that go together in some way, such as even and odd numbers, prime numbers, or consecutive numbers. To find paired numbers, you need to identify the relationship between the numbers you are working with and determine how they are connected or paired. For example, in the case of even numbers, you would pair each even number with its corresponding odd number.

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math!

The difference between them is that one group is even and the other is odd... mind-blowing, right?
