Well. I never said zero is an odd number.  But i said it can't be classified as even or odd number. To explain this let me go back to the history about how ODD and EVEN was born.

In early days whatever people gets they used to share among each other. To make it simpler they created even or odd.

0 is not an odd number. However, many claim (including myself ) it isnt even number as well. There is still many controversies regarding zero.

Thing about a number being odd or even is if you can divide equally. Like if you have 8 apples you can divide among 2 people , four each.

However, Zero is nothing. So you can't distribute at all. So many people claim that zero can't be even or odd number. There is still big debate about zero being even number.

I for one don't call it an even number or odd number. So I can rightly justify my answer of probablity.


Mathematics is not often as straightforward as you say. Like anything divide by 2 is even because it leaves no remainder . There will always be time when you have to be analytical and  need to decipher yourself .

You may even say 0 divided by 0 is one   because anything divided by itself is one.  But it doesn't work like that. Zero is an anomaly and doesn't really exist. For any real number zero cannot be considered a number rather zero is an absence of number.
