Do you mean the closest whole even number, which is 16, or do you mean the closest decimal number, which is 14.20? 16-14.19=1.81 OR 14.20-14.19=0.01

===========
There is no smallest number.
Adding -12.19 results in 2.
Adding -16.19 results in -2.
Adding -100.19 gives -86.
etc

The nearest EVEN number? That would be 14.
Add -0.19 and that will make 14.19%2B%280.19%29=14.


(An even number IS a whole number.)
