How to Find Even Numbers in Python

If you're learning Python, finding even numbers is a simple and useful beginner exercise.

An even number is a number that can be divided by 2 without any remainder.

For example:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Using the % Operator

In Python, we can use the modulus (%) operator to check whether a number is even.

num = 10

if num % 2 == 0:
    print("Even number")
else:
    print("Odd number")

How does it work?

num % 2 gives the remainder after dividing the number by 2.

• Remainder 0 → Even number
• Remainder 1 → Odd number

For example:

10 % 2 = 0
7 % 2 = 1

Finding Even Numbers from a List

We can also find even numbers from a list using a for loop.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

for num in numbers:
    if num % 2 == 0:
        print(num)

Output

2
4
6
8

Conclusion

Finding even numbers is a simple Python problem, but it helps beginners understand important concepts like:

• % operator
• if-else
• for loops
• Lists

These basic concepts are useful for solving many programming problems.
