The number 2 is the only even Prime number because any (actually, every) other even number can be divided by 2. And they can't be prime if they are divisible by an integer (a counting number) other than 1 and themselves. Said another way, all even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2. As they are divisible by 2, they cannot be prime.
