It is impossible. 2 is the only Prime number that is even, all other even numbers are divisable by 2 and therefore not prime. In order to get a remainder of two when dividing by 4, the number must be divisable by 2 but not four. Therefore, any prime number that is divided by 4 would have a remainder of either 1 or 3.

What can be the largest possible remainder if the divisor in a given division problem is 48?
The remainder is the number that is left over after the initial value has been divided as much as it can. If any numbers greater than 48 were present as a remainder, then these could be divided further into 48. If 48 is present as the remainder, then this can be divided by 48 to give 1, leaving no remainder. Thus, the largest possible remainder if the divisor is 48 is 47.
