    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '偶数 (ぐうすう)' refers to an 'even number', which is an integer divisible by 2. This term is commonly used in mathematics, everyday counting, and contexts where numerical parity is relevant. For example: 4 is an even number「4は偶数です」(よんはぐうすうです). The sum of two even numbers is also even「2つの偶数の和も偶数です」(ふたつのぐうすうのわもぐうすうです). The concept of even numbers is fundamental in arithmetic and is often contrasted with odd numbers (奇数, きすう).
