Used in that context with a number even would mean that it is exactly that number with no decimal extension. For example if I am selling you fast food I might tell you that the meal comes to an even nine dollars, when what I mean is that it is nine dollars and no cents. It can also mean a number that is exactly the same as if it is rounded as in an even 1000 people. The use of even is strange in the OP since the difference in two integers must always be an integer and it's not one significant digit number like 30.
