An even number is any integer that is exactly divisible by 2, meaning when you divide the number by 2, there is no remainder. These numbers always end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 in the units place. On the other hand, an odd number is an integer that is not divisible by 2. When divided by 2, odd numbers leave a remainder of 1. These numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 in the units place. Even and odd numbers are basic concepts in mathematics and help in number classification, pattern recognition, and many logical problems.
