Zero is neither positive nor negative. The concepts of positive and negative numbers are defined relative to zero, with negative numbers being less than zero and positive numbers being greater than zero. Zero is an even number. It is an integer multiple of 2, and it satisfies the properties of being evenly divisible by 2 and fitting within the standard rules for sums and products of even numbers. While zero was initially identified before the concepts of positive and negative numbers, it meets the formal definition of an even integer through being divisible by 2 with no remainder. Zero therefore has an even parity.

2. EARLY HISTORY
The nr. zero was invented independently
in India and by the Maya. In India a
decimal system was used, like ours, but
they used an empty space for zero up to
3rdCentury BC. Then after Maya invented
the number zero for their calendars in the
3rd century AD.

3. Zero is positive or negativeZero is positive or negative
Answer:-Answer:-
Actually, zero is neither a negative or a positiveActually, zero is neither a negative or a positive
number. The whole idea of positive and negativenumber. The whole idea of positive and negative
is defined in terms of zero. Negative numbersis defined in terms of zero. Negative numbers
are numbers that are smaller than zero, andare numbers that are smaller than zero, and
positive numbers are numbers that are biggerpositive numbers are numbers that are bigger
than zero. Since zero isn't bigger or smaller thanthan zero. Since zero isn't bigger or smaller than
itself (just like you're not older than yourself, oritself (just like you're not older than yourself, or
taller than yourself), zero is neither positive nortaller than yourself), zero is neither positive nor
negative.negative.

4. Zero is even or oddZero is even or odd
In most systems, 0 was identified before the idea ofIn most systems, 0 was identified before the idea of
negative things that go lower than zero was accepted. Zeronegative things that go lower than zero was accepted. Zero
is even number because it is divisible by 2.is even number because it is divisible by 2.

5. WHY ZERO IS EVEN
"In mathematics, the parity of an object refers to whether it is even or
odd.
The formal definition of an odd number is an integer of the form n=2k
+1, where k is an integer. The definition of an even number is n=2k
where k is an integer.
Any integer is either even or odd according to the following rules: If it is
a multiple of two, it is an even number; otherwise, it is an odd number.
Examples of even numbers are −4, 8, 0, and 42. Examples of odd
numbers are −3, 9, 1, and 5. The set of even numbers can be written:
Evens = 2Z = {..., −6, −4, −2, 0, 2, 4, 6, ...}.
The set of odd numbers can be shown like this:
Odds = 2Z + 1 = {..., −5, −3, −1, 1, 3, 5, ...}. "

properties of even numbers.
Secondly, zero is a neutral number.
