May be @Swetha and @Gopal is right. But @Ashish's answer is not perfect. Because 427 is not divisible by 2. I can't accept the answer given by the internet.

Just check the divisibility rule of 2. All digits are divisible by 2 except 671. So why not 671?

Except 427 every number is divisible by 11.

Adding each individual numbers we get even number except 427 it is odd.
