Filter numbers by parity (even or odd) with detailed analysis

Even Numbers: Divisible by 2 (remainder 0).Odd Numbers: Not divisible by 2 (remainder 1).

Understanding Number Parity

Even Numbers

Even numbers are integers that are exactly divisible by 2, meaning they have no remainder when divided by 2. This fundamental property makes them crucial in many mathematical and computational applications.

Properties of Even Numbers:

  • • Divisible by 2 with remainder 0
  • • Can be expressed as 2k where k is any integer
  • • Include 0, which is considered even
  • • Sum of two even numbers is always even
  • • Product of any integer with an even number is even

Examples: ..., -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...

Odd Numbers

Odd numbers are integers that are not divisible by 2, leaving a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. They form the complement set to even numbers in the integers.

Properties of Odd Numbers:

  • • Leave remainder 1 when divided by 2
  • • Can be expressed as 2k + 1 where k is any integer
  • • Sum of two odd numbers is always even
  • • Product of two odd numbers is always odd
  • • Adding 1 to any even number gives an odd number

Examples: ..., -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...

Mathematical Applications

Number Theory

Parity plays a crucial role in number theory, helping mathematicians understand patterns and prove theorems about integer properties.

Prime Numbers

Except for 2, all prime numbers are odd. This is because even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2, making them composite.

Perfect Squares

The parity of a perfect square matches the parity of its square root. Even²= Even, Odd² = Odd.

Modular Arithmetic

Parity is essentially arithmetic modulo 2, fundamental to understanding congruences and cyclic groups.

Analyze Results

Review the filtered numbers and examine the statistical analysis including distribution percentages and pattern detection.

4

Export Results

Copy results to clipboard or export to file for further analysis or documentation.

Practical Examples

Data Quality Control

Check if a dataset contains the expected balance of even and odd values.

Input: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Even: 2,4,6,8,10 (50%)
Odd: 1,3,5,7,9 (50%)

Algorithm Testing

Validate sorting algorithms by checking if even/odd positions are correct.

Sorted: 12,14,16,18,20
All Even: ✓
Pattern: Consecutive evens

Statistical Analysis

Analyze number sequences for bias toward even or odd values.

Sample: Random integers
Distribution: 52% even, 48% odd
Bias: Slight even preference

Educational Demonstration

Teach students about number classification and mathematical patterns.

Fibonacci: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21
Even: 2,8 (25%)
Pattern: Every 3rd is even

Pattern Analysis Features

Automatic Pattern Detection

Our tool automatically analyzes your number sequence for common patterns and provides insights about the distribution and arrangement of even and odd numbers.

Alternating Patterns

Detects if numbers alternate between even and odd (e.g., 2,3,4,5,6,7).

Example: 2,3,4,5,6,7 → Alternating: Yes

Consecutive Sequences

Identifies consecutive even or odd numbers within your sequence.

Example: 2,4,6,8 → Consecutive evens: Yes

Distribution Balance

Analyzes whether the sequence has balanced or skewed even/odd distribution.

Example: 50% even, 50% odd → Perfect balance

Range Analysis

Shows the range spans for even and odd numbers separately.

Even range: 2 to 100, Odd range: 1 to 99

Frequently Asked Questions

Is zero considered even or odd?

Zero is considered even because it is divisible by 2 (0 ÷ 2 = 0 with no remainder). This follows the mathematical definition that even numbers are those divisible by 2.

How does the tool handle decimal numbers?

The tool automatically converts decimal numbers to integers by removing the fractional part. For example, 3.7 becomes 3 (odd) and 4.2 becomes 4 (even). This ensures consistent parity analysis.

What does "alternating pattern" mean?

An alternating pattern occurs when the parity changes with each consecutive number (even-odd-even-odd or odd-even-odd-even). This is detected automatically and reported in the pattern analysis section.

Can I analyze negative numbers?

Yes, the tool correctly handles negative numbers. The parity rules apply the same way: -4, -2, 0, 2, 4 are even, while -3, -1, 1, 3, 5 are odd.

What export formats are available?

You can copy results as comma-separated lists, JavaScript arrays, or line-separated lists. The export function creates a detailed file with statistics and metadata about your analysis.
