Remember This

Uneven means not even. In math, 'even' numbers are divisible by 2; 'uneven' is often used broadly for surfaces or distributions, but the precise math term for not divisible by 2 is 'odd'.

Note

Do not confuse uneven with unevenly or with 'unequal.' Uneven describes lack of balance or uniformity, typically for surfaces or distributions. In math contexts, 'even' and 'odd' are the correct terms; 'uneven' is more common in everyday descriptions.
