What Are Even Numbers?
Even numbers are integers that can be exactly divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. In other words, an even number is any number that can be written in the form: 2 × n where n is an integer (… -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …).
Examples of Even Numbers
- 0 (because 0 ÷ 2 = 0)
- 2 (2 ÷ 2 = 1)
- 4 (4 ÷ 2 = 2)
- 6, 8, 10, 12, and so on
- Negative even numbers like -2, -4, -6, etc.
Key Characteristics
- Even numbers always end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 in the decimal system.
- When you add or subtract two even numbers, the result is always even.
- Multiplying an even number by any integer always results in an even number.
