Today I thought of writing about the wonderful number, Number Two.
It's a very special number for me as I am the second child of my parents and I have two sons. Most interestingly the month in which I was born is February and that's the second month of the year.
2 is the only even prime number. Prime numbers are natural numbers which have got exactly 2 factors ; one and the number itself.
The whole set of integers is divided into two groups known as even numbers and odd numbers. A number is called as an even number if it is divisible by 2, otherwise it is an odd number.
Here are some interesting facts
27 = 712 - 173
2 + 2 = 2 x 2 = 22
2= 33 - 52
2= 42 - 32 - 22 - 12
In India every month we all look forward for Second Saturdays. Its a holiday.Saturday is named after Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. That may be the reason we get a Holiday on Second Saturday !
