ZERO: odd or even ; negative or positive

[akopa]

research work lang mga brader ... ano sa palagay nyo ???? salamat sa lahat ng sasagot... i know makakatulong lahat kayo.

[blackbox999]

even yan.

[blackbox999]

even yan. positive.

[dingclancy23]

neither

[alikishi]

it's neither postive nor negative and it's neither even nor odd

[palikpik]

are you positive?

[Ischaramoochie]

depends. are you talking about the infinitessimal or the quantitative zero?

[mac_bolan00]

the number. it cannot have a value and no positive number can be less than zero. if there was, 1 divided by that number would be greater than infinity!

[foolishgurl]

zero is neither negative nor positive... pero diba ang numbers ending in zero ay considered even? ewan ko lang kung even nga ang zero...

pero yun nga... any number divided by zero ay di pwede...

ako rin question:
bakit ang zero factorial eh 1? (0!=1)... tapos ang 1 factorial (1!=1) eh 1 dini? hmm...

eto makulit.. 1+1=0... prove!

I think 0! = 1 is a definition

Zero is even number....
"Even numbers are numbers when divided by two the remainder is zero"

Zero is neither pos. nor neg.
"Based from the number line or cartesian plane"


Tama nga ba sagot ko nye hihihihihihih :)

[mac_bolan00]

i think you'll find the answer beyond the locked door in the department of mysteries, ministry of magic.

[Ischaramoochie]

Bertrand Russell took on the number in his [i]Principia Mathematica[i], which can be found in most libraries.

[Ekimus]

Special number ang zero.

Ginawa yan to signify nothing, off, etc. and as a "place holder". Pero it's not the same as "null" in computer terms.

Sa number systems, place holder sya for the digit right after it signifying a step in its base. I.E. 10 base 10 = ten; 10 base 2 = two; 10 base 16 = sixteen.

Tama ba? Hehehe.

[eigenvector008]

integers are divided in three classifications: negative, 0, and positive. so, 0 is neither negative nor positive. 0 is simply 0.

it's not a definition because you can't define it.

0!=1 is simply a convention accepted by mathematicians.

[Ekimus]

Basta pag may zero na na-return na value somewhere at nasama yun sa computation... Stack overflow error! Wahehehehe :D

so, how do you define odd integers? are odd integers numbers when divided by two the remainder is one?

so zero divided by any number has a remainder of zero.

Therefore, zero is neither even nor odd

Therefore, zero is neither even nor odd What kind of stupid argument is this?

Person A says: An even number is a number that returns a remainder of zero when divided by two.

Person B says: Zero divided by any number will return a remainder of two.

To Person B, the question should be: so what? If an apple can be defined as a fruit, does the fact that it can also be defined as organic make it NOT an apple?

If the definition of Person A is correct, it's common sense to conclude that odd numbers are numbers that yield a remainder OTHER than zero when divided by two.

Sheesh.

oops... parang mali nga yung sagot ko.

0 is neither positive nor negative
0 is even since it can be written in the form 2k where k is some integer (in this case k=0)

0!=1 definition? convention? by convention, we define 0! to be equal to 1.

the simplest argument i have come across why 0! should be equal to 1 has to do with circular permutation. there are (m-1)! ways to arrange m objects in a circle. so if i were to arrange 1 person in a circle, that would be (1-1)!=0!. however, we know that there is only 1 way to arrange a person in a circle. therefore, 0! must be equal to 1.

another frequent question on 0 is whether it is prime or composite. any takers?

[ubermensch]

hello mins

i think 0 is neither prime nor composite. nung definition yata ng prime and composite numbers applies only to positive integers.

i'm not too sure that akopa really wants to know whether 0 is even or odd, or whether it is positive or not. methinks akopa wants to see the way people will respond to the q. =) of course, baka ako naman nung mali, he he he.

[shaoron]

If I remember correctly, integers are divided into 3 types, namely positive, negative and zero. Zero is a special case so it is niether postitive nor negative.

Another thing, the "formula" of an even number is 2n while 2n+1 or 2n-1 for odd, where n is any integer. Assuming n = 0; based on the "formulas" 2n = 0, 2n+1 = 1, 2n -1 = -1. Which makes zero an even number.

[R3'91]

In most cases, "0" usually represents "nothing"

So in this case, you are all arguing about nothing.

:p :D

[ubermensch]

mangungulit lang, he he he.

we're not "arguing about nothing."

we're arguing about "something that represents nothing." =)

naku about math na thread 'tong napasukan ko....mali,mali.....:eek::lol: :glee: :lol:

[troubles_214]

math?! hahahaha! :D :D :D :D :D

[criskyut]

none of the above!

it's in between!

[yiyin]

my teacher told me that zero is a number but its neither postive nor negative and/or neither odd nor even..
i hope it helps or a faculty must be kick out frm skul again?!!?!

*paw*

[yiyin]

as ive read through all the posts...i see everyones a real genius..
kakatuwa...=)
