I know this question may seem open, but I'm a bit interested in figuring out, getting some ideas, or at least getting some sources on how the parity of a number is affected by repeatedly diving it by 2. My question specifically is
How many times can an even number $n$ be divided by 2 before reaching an odd number?
I guess this is in a way related to the Collatz Conjecture and I'm not sure if this question is ground-breaking in anyway but I did some research and could not find anything significant. I guess it could also be rephrased to given the prime decomposition of a number, how many $2$s will there be?
This nowhere groundbreaking: Any even number is of the form $2^md$ with $m \geq 1$ and $d$ odd. You can repeatedly divide it by $2$ precisley $m$ times.
