There is no number which is divisible by zero because that would constitute a number that could have zero subtracted from it a specific number of times.
For instance; 12 is divisible by three, because three can be subtracted from 12 four times, giving a final result of zero.
Even if you subtract zero an infinite number of times, you cannot reach a quotient of zero from any number other than zero. Zero, however, is a special case. Zero divided by zero, even though it seems to meet the subtraction rule, does not constitute divisibility - it is an undefined.
In advanced mathematics, we do talk about infinity, and we do define that any number divided by zero is infinity, but we still by convention do not call any number ever divisible by zero.
Going further, the special case of zero divided by zero, while officially undefined, does have a definite value when you start talking about limits, but that is a topic for pre-calculus.

Why any number is not divisible by zero?
Nothing is divisible by zero because any number divided by zero will be undefined.
What is the only number that no number is ever divisible by?
No number is ever divisible by zero.
A number is divisible by another?
A number is divisible by another when the remainder of the division is zero.
What is a remainder of a number that is divisible by another number?
The fat that it is divisible means that the remainder must be zero.
Can a whole number ending in zero be prime explain?
No. A prime number is divisible by one and itself only- a number ending in zero is divisible by factor/s of ten.
