STEP 1

What's left?

The % sign shows the remainder after division. 7 is divided by 2 three times and 1 remains.

print(7 % 2)

✦ Answer 1.

STEP 2

An even number is divided by 2 without a remainder. So the remainder is zero.

number = 8
print(number % 2 == 0)

✦ Answer True: eight even.

IN-CLASS PRACTICE

Reprint the check. Don't confuse % and /.

number = 10
print(number % 2 == 0)
