Abstract

Summary Even and odd numbers appear early in history of mathematics [9], as they serve to describe the property of objects easily noticeable by human eye [7]. Although the use of parity allowed to discover irrational numbers [6], there is a common opinion that this property is “not rich enough to become the main content focus of any particular research” [9]. On the other hand, due to the use of decimal system, divisibility by 2 is often regarded as the property of the last digit of a number (similarly to divisibility by 5, but not to divisibility by any other primes), which probably restricts its use for any advanced purposes. The article aims to extend the definition of parity towards its notion in binary representation of integers, thus making an alternative to the articles grouped in [5], [4], and [3] branches, formalized in Mizar [1], [2].
