Even Numbers

The article explains even numbers. It will discuss what odd and even numbers are with their differences explained. Even prime numbers will also be explained.

Even numbers in mathematics are a part of parity. In it, the particular property of a number or an integer is referred to as either even or odd. In the case when a number can, be said to be a multiple of 2, that integer is said to be an even number like 2,4,6, 8……so on. If an integer cannot be divided by 2 or if it is not a multiple of 2, then it is said to be an odd number. So, 3,5,7, are odd numbers. In mathematics, even numbers and odd numbers form the fundamental basis of calculations. 

Even Numbers

Even numbers along with odd numbers form the basis of mathematics. In the case when a number can, be said to be a multiple of 2, that integer is said to be an even number like 2,4,6, 8……so on. Even numbers in mathematics are a part of parity.

What are Even Numbers?

Even and Odd Numbers It is also a very important area of inquiry in quantitative aptitude.  Even 0 is considered to be even since its parity is even. It is also a fundamental fact that consecutive integers are numbers with opposite parity. In the case of decimal, a number is considered to be even if the last digit of that integer is even. When considering the binary numeral system, a digit that has 0 or 2 or 4 or so on then it is said to be even. However, in the case there is an odd base then if the sum of that base is even, the base is considered to be even. Mathematically, an even number can be explained as: X=2k Here, k is an integer x= 2k+1 So, if an even number can be divided by 2 then, x is 2 In case it is an odd number then  x is not 2

Properties of Even Numbers

The properties of even numbers can be proven by using divisibility. The following represents the verification:
  • Addition – Subtraction
  • even (+-) even = even
  • even (+-) odd = odd
  • odd (+-) odd = even
  • Multiplication
  • Even × even = even
  • even × odd = even
  • odd × odd = odd
This structure can be said to have two elements ({even, odd}, +, ×).          

Odd and Even Numbers

An odd number is that integer that cannot be divided by 2 and is not a multiple of 2. The differences between what odd and even numbers can be summed up as the following table:
Even Numbers Odd Numbers
Can be divided by 2 Cannot be divided by 2
Remainder is 0 Remainder is 1
The Sum of two even numbers is even The Sum of two odd numbers is odd
Example: 0,2,4,6,8 Example: 1,3,5,7,9
Table 2 shows differences between odd and even numbers Every even number can be represented as 2n while odd numbers are represented as 2n-1 or 2n+1. Here n is a natural integer. 

Even Prime Numbers

Even Prime Numbers is an interesting feature of parity. Only the number 2 is an even prime number. All other prime numbers in the number sequence are odd primes. Mathematically it can be expressed as: n= 2 k All other numbers such as 3, 5,7 are odd primes. 

Composite Numbers

Composite numbers are those numbers that are not prime numbers. Those natural numbers having 2 or more components are composite numbers. 

Conclusion

Even numbers make up the fundamental basis of mathematics along with odd numbers. These are used in higher dimensions of numbers such as for Euclidean spaces. Even numbers are also applied to number theory. This theory is based on Goldbach’s conjecture. The parity of permutation is another area of study where even numbers are applied. That is done through group theory. Thus, what even numbers are and what odd and even numbers have been studied.

Ans : Even numbers in mathematics are a part of parity. Even numbers along with odd numbers form the basis of mathematics. In the case when a number can, be said to be a multiple of 2, that integer is said to be an even number like 2,4,6, 8……so on. Every even number can be represented as 2n. X=2k

Here, k is an integer

x= 2k+1

Ans : Even Prime Numbers is an interesting feature of parity. Only the number 2 is an even prime number. All other prime numbers in the number sequence are odd primes. All other numbers such as 3, 5,7 are odd primes.

Ans : No. Number 1 is neither prime nor is it a composite number. Composite numbers are those numbers that are not prime numbers. Those natural numbers having 2 or more components are composite numbers. 

Ans :  0 is an even number because it can be divided into two distinct groups of 0 items in an empty set. Example: 1 is odd (2 0) +1. But 0 is even as 0= (2 0) +0.

Ans : Suppose, A has 30 units of which 14 units are distributed to B. To determine whether A has an even number of units left, we have to:

30-14=16. As 16 can be divided by 2 and it is a multiple of 2, then this is an even number. So, A is left with an even number of units.
