5 and 2 are the only prime numbers that end in a 5 or 2. A prime number is by definition only divisible by 1 and itself, and all other whole numbers ending in 5 or 2 are divisible by 5 or 2, respectively. Numbers that are not whole numbers cannot be prime.

All numbers larger than 5 which end in 5 are divisible by 5 and so are not prime. All numbers larger than 2 which end in 2 are divisible by 2 and so are not prime.
