An Even Number is any whole number that can be divided by 2 with nothing left over. These are numbers like:
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
The last digit is always 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Even numbers are great for sharing things equally between two people. If you have 10 cookies, you can give 5 to one friend and 5 to another — no crumbs left behind!
