Even Numbers 1 to 12

Even numbers are those that can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder.

 

These numbers are multiples of 2. The last digit of even numbers ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

 

There are a total of 6 even numbers ranging from 1 to 12.

 

The formula to find an even number is 2n, where n is an integer.

Even Numbers 1 to 12 Chart

Learning about even numbers is easier with the help of a visual aid, which helps children understand the sequence more effectively.

 

Here’s a list of even numbers from 1 to 12:

List of Even Numbers 1 to 12

Even numbers are expressed in the form of ‘n = 2k’. Here, ‘k’ is an integer, and ‘n’ is the number.

 

These numbers are divisible by 2, with a remainder of zero.

 

Let us list the even numbers from 1 to 12. They are as follows: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. There are a total of 6 even numbers.

Sum of Even Numbers 1 to 12

To find the sum of even numbers, we use the formula: S = n(n+1), where ‘n’ is the count of even numbers, and ‘S’ is the sum.

 

There are a total of 6 even numbers, so ‘n’ = 6. Now we can substitute the value of ‘n’. S = 6(6 + 1) S = 6 * 7 = 42 Therefore, 42 is the sum of all even numbers from 1 to 12.

 

Adding an even number to an even number always results in an even number. For example, 4 + 8 = 12.

Subtraction of Even Numbers 1 to 12

Subtraction of even numbers involves subtracting one even number from another.

 

Each even number is uniformly spaced by 2.

 

If we subtract two even numbers, the result is also an even number. For example, 10 - 2 = 8 8 - 4 = 4 12 - 6 = 6

Problem 1

Find the sum of even numbers between 4 and 10.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

28 is the sum of even numbers between 4 and 10.

Explanation

The even numbers between 4 and 10 are 4, 6, 8, and 10.

 

Next, calculate the sum of these numbers. 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 28 The sum of even numbers from 4 to 10 is 28.

Problem 2

Jane has 12 apples. She wants to divide them equally between her 2 friends. How many apples will each friend get?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

Each friend gets 6 apples.

Explanation

Jane has 12 apples, which is an even number.

 

Dividing equally between her 2 friends results in: 12 / 2 = 6 Therefore, each friend gets 6 apples.

Problem 3

In a small theater, there are 12 seats. All the even-numbered seats are reserved for VIP guests. How many even-numbered seats are there?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

6 seats.

Explanation

To find the even-numbered seats, we divide the total number of seats by 2. 12 / 2 = 6 So, 6 seats are reserved for VIP guests.

Problem 4

A farmer has 5 sheep and 3 cows. Each pair of legs makes an even number. How many legs do all the animals have?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

32 legs in total.

Explanation

First, calculate the total number of legs for each type of animal:

 

Sheep have 4 legs, and there are 5 sheep: 5 * 4 = 20 legs

 

Cows have 4 legs, and there are 3 cows: 3 * 4 = 12 legs

 

The total number of legs all the animals have is 20 + 12 = 32.

 

The animals have 32 legs in total.

Problem 5

There are 12 students in a class. If the students are grouped into sets of 2, how many sets are there?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

6 sets.

Explanation

Grouping into sets of 2 means dividing the total number of students by 2: 12 / 2 = 6 If the students are grouped into sets of 2, there are a total of 6 sets.
