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.
