1. Two
is the only number x such that the sum of the reciprocals of the powers of x
equal to itself. 1
+ ½ + ¼ + 1/8 + --- = 2
2. Square
root of 2, i.e √2 is the first known irrational number discovered by
Pythagoras.
3. Two
(2) is the only even prime number.
4. There
are no integers x, y, z for which xn + yn = zn is valid if n > 2. This is known as Fermat’s last Theorem. This theorem was
proposed by Piere de Fermat in the year 1670 and it remained a mystery for the
mathematicians for over 350 years until it was proved in year 1995 by Andrew
Wiles. In case n = 2, the equation turns out to be a Pythagoras Theorem.
5. N2
± N is divisible by 2 where N is a natural number.
6. H,
I, O and X have two lines of symmetry. 7. The
common symmetry found in nature is bilateral. A single axis has two sides one
goes in positive direction and another goes in negative direction. Our bodies
are bilaterally symmetrical and we naturally distinguish the thing in two ways
, e.g Right and Left, Up and Down etc.
8. A
number is divisible by 2 if it ends with 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8.
Example: 248, 98634, 666, 900 are divisible by
2 but 41, 333, 79 are not divisible by 2.
9. 2
can be partitioned in two ways.
10. A
binary code is written to base 2 and has just 2 digits 0 and 1. In binary
system the odd number ends with 1 and even number ends with 0. This system was
first used by Leibniz in 1679 though it is referred to in a Chinese book which
supposedly dates from about 3000BC. Leibniz associated 0 with nothingness and 1
with odd. In binary number system 14 is
written as 1110 and is represented as (14)10 = (1110)2.
11. For
any polyhedron, the Euler’s formula is V – E + F = 2, where V , E and F
represent Vertices, Edges and Faces respectively.
12. Atomic
number of Helium is 2.
13. Two
has a unique property such that 2 + 2 = 2 x 2.
14. Chess,
Squash and Sumo wrestling are all games played by two competitors.
15.
A figure having length and breadth but
no depth is called a 2- dimensional object.
- There are 20 digits in the expansion of 264 but surprisingly the base 2 is disappeared. 264 = 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,51,616
- All known Perfect Numbers are Even.
- Goldbach conjecture says that every even
number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. Example : 8 = 3 + 5
