Of course not! For example 3 and 9 are odd, but are not co-prime!

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.

Are there more even or odd numbers?

There are the same amount. Comparing is a bit tricky when there are infinite numbers or both even and odd numbers, but think of it this way: Pair each odd number with the even number right above it (1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc.). Every odd number is paired with one even number, and every even is paired with one odd number. This shows that they have the same amount.
