		The number zero is even, because it is equal to two multiplied by zero.
		A number expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd.
		All prime numbers are odd, with one exception: the prime number 2.

	Even and odd numbers : Even number (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The number zero is considered to be even, because it is equal to two multiplied by zero.
		A number expressed in the decimal number system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd.
		An integer is odd if it is congruent to 1 modulo this ideal, in other words if it's congruent to 1 modulo 2, and even if it is congruent to 0 modulo 2.

		Then, ask for a volunteer to approach the chart and point to the numbers that would be the "A" (the odd numbers) and the numbers that would be the "B." Write the letter A in the odd column and write the letter B in the even column.
		Repeat this exercise with a number in the 20's, the 30's and then with larger numbers that are relevant to the children, such as the number of students in their grade or school.
		For those children having difficulty identifying whether the number is odd or even and/or explaining the rationale, make a note and re-assess them at a later date after continued practice with counting chips and placing them into pairs to determine if the number is odd or even.

	Even and Odd Numbers
		Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be divided evenly by 2.
		An odd number ends in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
		For example, you can't say that the fraction 1/3 is odd because the denominator is an odd number.

	Lesson II
		This is another simple lesson, note that there is now one added twist "add 5 if the 'number' is odd." This is another frequently used method in this multiplication system, and it always and only refers to the "number" (see definitions) in its raw state...
		and has nothing to do with the result of doubling or halving the "number." Note that if the Rule were written in the proper order of execution, it would read: if the "number" is odd add 5; either way add half the neighbour.
		Thus far all of the numbers I have used as multiplicands have been long numbers, but you can use the same methods for single digit multiplicands.

		The mathematical distinction is that any even number can be written as 2k ie is divisible by two, while a odd* number can be written as 2k+1 and is clearly not divisible by 2.
		As a previous poster mentioned an even number is fundamentally defined as 2k, where k is a member of the integers, and odd numbers are the numbers 2k+1 where k is a member of the integers.
		The idea of even and odd are only a philosophical illusion to the extent that the idea of axiomatic mathematics itself is philosophical illusion, which is perhaps true, since it's not a closed system and can't describe everything.

		Whenever a counter with a greater number on it precedes a counter with a smaller number, the counters are said to be inverted.
		The reason for the incorporation of the row number in the 4×4 puzzle is that when a counter is moved vertically it jumps over 3 (an odd number of) other counters.
		Thus the difference in the number of inversions before and after the move is always odd.

		If one were odd and the other even, every packet would look corrupt, unless it was of course.
		The problem with parity checking is, if an even number of bits are dropped, say two, then the number of ones remains either even or odd and the error is un-noticed.

	Perfect Number
		Euclid was one of the first to study perfect numbers, although, due to the difficulty of finding such numbers, he only knew of the first four perfect numbers: 6, 28, 496, and 8128.
		Constructing proofs for when a particular type of odd number cannot be perfect is fine and dandy, but at some point, my method for tackling the odd perfect number problem had to change.
		In his book Perfect Numbers, Richard Shoemaker defines social numbers "as being a chain of numbers in which each number is equal to the sum of all the proper divisors of the preceding number, the last being considered as preceding the first number of the chain" (page 27).

		After writing the FSD for each number 1-30, it struck me that the FSDs for odd numbers were all negative, while the FSDs for even numbers were both positive and negative.
		Because, if it could be shown that the FSD for any odd number is negative, then it can be proven that there are no odd perfect numbers (remember: the FSD must equal zero for it to be perfect).

	Player 1 attempting for a common factor
		Observation 1: If there are an odd number of values to start with, then on Player 1's turn, there will always be an odd number to choose from, and on Player 2's turn there will always be an even number.
		This is because any two numbers that are even, or are odd but divisible by 3 have a common factor.
		Since there are 3 numbers left, but only two categories, there must be a pair that are either congruent mod 2 or congruent mod 3, so Player 1 can simply remove the value that isn't part of the pair to win.

		(I believe that the question of whether odd perfect numbers exist is the oldest open question in mathematics, now about 2 and a half millenia old!) It is known that an even number is perfect iff it is of the form 2^(p-1) * ((2^p) - 1) where the second factor is prime.
		As is well known, an odd perfect number $N$, if one exists, must be of the form $N=p\sp \alpha q\sp {2\beta\sb 1}\sb 1 q\sp {2\beta\sb 2}\sb 2\cdots q\sp {2\beta\sb \tau}\sb t$ for distinct odd primes $p,q\sb 1,q\sb 2,\cdots,q\sb t$, with $p\equiv\alpha\equiv1\bmod4$.
		They also show that if $x$ is the number of prime powers $q\sp {2\beta\sb i}\sb i$ for which both $q\sb i\equiv1\bmod 4$ and $\beta\sb i\equiv1\bmod2$, then $p-\alpha\equiv4x\bmod8$.
