The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both.

To find the LCM of 2 and 12, we can list the multiples of each number:

- Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, ...
- Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, ...

The smallest common multiple in both lists is 12.

Therefore, the least common multiple of 2 and 12 is **12**.
