2 is the only Prime number dividable by 2.

to be a prime number, it must only be dividable by 1 and itself.

This is the reason why 2 is the only prime number dividable by 2. If any other number was dividable by two then it would not be prime any more

Ah hah! You didn't say so, but you must be talking about 2 and 3 ... the only two consecutive numbers that are both prime numbers. There can't be any others. Because if you have any other two consecutive numbers, one of them has to be an even number ... divisible by 2. Since that number is divisible by 2, it's not a prime number.
