Step 2: Check if a number is even. To do this, take the number and divide it by 2.
Step 3: If the result of the division is a whole number (no decimal or fraction), then the number is even.
Step 4: If the number is even, it must be true that it can be expressed as 2 times another integer (for example, 2, 4, 6 can be expressed as 2x1, 2x2, 2x3 respectively).
