Let's denote the two numbers as x and y.

From the problem, we have two equations:

1) x - y = 4 (The difference of two numbers is 4)
2) x / y = 2 (Their quotient is 2)

We can solve these equations step by step:

Step 1: From equation 2), we can express x = 2y.

Step 2: Substitute x in equation 1) with 2y, we get 2y - y = 4, which simplifies to y = 4.

Step 3: Substitute y = 4 into equation 2), we get x = 2 * 4 = 8.

So, the two numbers are 8 and 4.
