Of the $1$-digit numbers, only $2$, $3$, $5$, $7$ are primes.
Of the $2$-digit numbers ending with $2$, none are prime.
Of the $2$-digit numbers ending with $3$, $13$, $23$, $43$, $53$, $73$, and $83$ are primes.
Of the $2$-digit numbers ending with $5$, none are prime.
Of the $2$-digit numbers ending with $7$, $17$, $37$, $47$, $67$, and $97$ are primes.
Of the $3$-digit numbers ending with $13$, $113$, $313$, $613$ are primes.
