Quandaries and Queries
 


The question is: Is zero an even number?

This was asked on a first grade homework assignment.

I am a secretary at an elementary school.

Thanks for your help.



Hi,

An integer is even if it is a multiple of 2. For example 18 = 9  2 is even.
Thus 0 is even as 0 = 0 x 2.
