Even/Odd Filter
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.

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.
