What number has 2 fewer tens and 4 fewer ones than a number with 2 tens and six ones?

Let's break this down step by step.

1. A number with **2 tens and 6 ones** is:

\[
2 \times 10 + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26
\]

2. Now, we need to find the number that has **2 fewer tens** and **4 fewer ones** than 26:
   - **2 fewer tens** than 2 tens is \(2 - 2 = 0\) tens.
   - **4 fewer ones** than 6 ones is \(6 - 4 = 2\) ones.

3. Therefore, the number with **0 tens and 2 ones** is:

\[
0 \times 10 + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2
\]

Thus, the number you're looking for is **2**.
