However, the systems used to obtain this goal differ geographically, historically, and by relative utility. All questions pertaining to numbers, including historic labeling systems, bases of numerical systems, constants, and the various ways they're grouped together, should be placed into this category.

Is 0 an even number and Why is it an even number?

We need to refer to the mathematical definition of the word "even."

The most commonly accepted definition is that a number "a" is even if there exists an integer "n" which makes the following statement true:

a = 2 x n

0 is an integer. So let n = 0 in the above equation and we get:

0 = 2 x 0

So 0 satisfies the mathematical definition for being even.
