Why do some algorithms have a ' after the 2? Like I see some where people write UR2'UR2U for example, and I don't know why this is. Is it a suggestion for which way to turn it or something like that?
Why is there a 2' vs 2

AFAIK, it's a suggestion on which way to turn the n2; n2' would denote turning n in the direction of n'.

It suggests that you should turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise.
It's helpful for explaining exactly how someone executes an algorithm.
You can ignore it if you want and do clockwise or anti-clockwise turns, but it's just their to show you how the author solves the cube.
