I'm not sure what the "evenly" part means. I guess it means that there is no
remainder... if that is the case you only need to check if the last digit in
the number is even or zero. If it is you know the number is divisible by 2.

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Finding If a _huge_ float is divisible by a
number
What a coincedence. A coworker of mine just asked me a similar
question. In this case we have a huge float (greater than maxinteger)
and need to know if it is evenly divisable by 2. We can not truncate
the result, since it won't fit into an integer. We'll probably fall
back on converting to a string and examining that result.
Any thoughts?
