2 (two) is a positive integer following 1 and preceding 3. Its ordinal form is written "second" or "2nd".

Properties []

  • 2 is even, and a prime number — the only number with both of those properties. (An old joke states that this makes 2 the oddest prime of all.)
  • Since 10 is a multiple of 2, a number written in base 10 can be easily be tested for evenness by looking at the last decimal digit. Even numbers always end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
  • 2 is the smallest superperfect number.
  • Base two, binary, is used as the basis of modern computing.
  • 2 is the first superior highly composite number, despite being a prime.
  • 2 Dots

    Two represented in dots.

    2 is a degenerate number. See 4 for more info

In googology[]

  • Calling any standard hyperoperation (addition, multiplication, exponentiation, tetration, etc.) with 2 as both of its arguments will always result in 4. BEAF arrays using 2 as a base tend to become degenerate and evaluate to 4: {2, 2 (1) 2} = {2, 2} = 22 = 4. For this reason, Bowers often coins googologisms based on the number 3, which do not become degenerate.
  • In Greek-based number naming systems, 2 is associated with prefix di-, and with prefix duo- in Latin systems.
  • 2 can be named boogaone with the booga- prefix, since booga(1) = 1 + 1 = 2.
  • Using Sbiis Saibian's naming system, this number is called clover mite-crumb.[1]
  • Aarex Tiaokhiao coined the name binary-uoonol for this number.[2]
  • Username5243 coined the name Binary-Goonol for this number, and it's equal to 2[1]1 in Username5243's Array Notation.[3]
  • Licorneuhh coined the names Heads-Unprimol and Tails-Unprimol for this number, equal to R(1) and Я(1) using Primarial Functions. [4].
  • HaydenTheGoogologist2009 coined the name Keep the change! for this number, and it's the 1st number in Meet yourself in 105 degrees Celsius.[5]

Note: The readers should be careful that numbers defined by Username5243's Array Notation are ill-defined as explained in Username5243's Array Notation#Issues. So, when an article refers to a number defined by the notation, it actually refers to an intended value, not an actual value itself (for example, a[c]b = \(a \uparrow^c b\) in arrow notation). In addition, even if the notation is ill-defined, a class category should be based on an intended value when listed, not an actual value itself, as it is not hard to fix all the issues from the original definition, hence it should not be removed.
