No 2 pencils come in a variety of sizes and styles (traditional and mechanical pencils). The "No 2" means it's a medium grade lead...there are harder leads that write lighter in color (usually used for drafting and engineering), and softer leads that write darker in color (usually used by artists)...

How many times smaller is a toothpick to a pencil?

Because not all toothpicks and not all pencils are of a uniform size, the answer varies depending on the particular toothpick and particular pencil. As an example, let's suppose that the pencil is 6 inches long, and that the toothpick is 2. The toothpick is, in this case, 2/6 the size of the pencil, or (reducing the fraction) 1/3 its size, which is approximately 33%.
