Why Zero is Even
- Division : By definition, an even number is divisible by 2, with no remainder. 0/2 = 0 with no remainder.
- Number Line : on the integer number line, even and odd numbers alternate, and any odd number increased or reduced by 1 is an even number.
- Addition : additive rules state that even + even = even, and odd + odd = even. Under these rules, zero can be even, but cannot be odd.
With the obvious solution n=0, zero fits the criteria that for any integer n, the integer 2n is even. (multiplication or division by 2)

Is zero a even number?
No. Zero is neither an odd or an even number.
Is zero an odd or even number and why not?
Zero is not classified as an even or an odd number, due to the fact if you have zero of anything, there is no value in use. An even number, of anything, can be distribute equally and identically. An odd number, of anything, cannot be distribute equally, because there will be some or a few left over.
Is zero an odd number?
Zero is not considered an odd number. In mathematics, even numbers are integers that are divisible by 2, while odd numbers are integers that are not divisible by 2. Since zero can be divided by 2 without a remainder, it is classified as an even number.
Is zero a non-negative real number?
Zero is a real number, it is neither positive or negative, and it is even.
If a number has a zero at the end of it is it odd or even?
Even. Numbers ending in zero are multiples of 10, and 10 = 5 x 2, so all multiples of 10 are even.
