Because any number that ends with those numbers can be divided by a number. For example, 10 can be divided by 2 and 5, 4 can be divided by 2...

However, 2 is a Prime number; it's just numbers that END with 2 that aren't prime, like 12. 5 is exactly like 2, but a number that ends with 5 can be divided by 5.

Lots of prime numbers have zeros in them. 101, 103, 107 and 109 are all prime numbers. Prime numbers can't end in zero. Numbers that end in zero are multiples of ten and have too many factors to be prime numbers.
