The prime factors of 2 are 2.
The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5.
To find the least common multiple, we need to find the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either factorization and multiply those powers together.
The highest power of 2 that appears in either factorization is 2.
The highest power of 5 that appears in either factorization is 1.
Therefore, the least common multiple of 2 and 10 is $2^2 \cdot 5 = \boxed{10}$.
