Can the number one be considered a prime number?

One is neither a prime number or a composite number. A prime number is defined as having exactly two factors; one and the number itself. (Example for the number 5: 1 x 5 = 5...factors -- 1,5) Composite numbers have three or more factors. (Example for the number 8: 2 x 4 = 8 and 1 x 8 = 8...factors -- 1,2,4,8) Since the number one has only 1 factor (1 x 1 = 1), it falls in neither category. Poor one; it is the loneliest number!
