Zero is not considered a Prime number because it does not have any factors other than itself, which is a prerequisite for a number to be considered prime. Additionally, zero is not considered a composite number because it does not have more than one factor, which is another requirement for a number to be classified as composite. Zero is a special case and is treated as its own separate category.

What are the number 1 and zero called since neither are prime or composite?
One and zero, respectively.
Is zero a prime or a composite or an even numeral?
Zero is neither prime or composite but it is an even number because it is between 2 odd numbers which are -1 and +1
If zero is not prime or composite what is it?
There is no name for numbers which are neither prime nor composite.
Are there any numbers that are neither prime or composite?
Zero and one are neither composite nor prime.
How do you know if a number is composite prime or neither by looking at the factors of the number explain your answer?
Prime numbers have two factors. Composite have more than two. Neither (one and zero) have less than two.
Why is zero said to be a composite number?
Zero is neither composite nor prime.
Is zero a prime composite or a Neither?
0 is neither a prime nor a composite number.
Is zero a prime or composite?
Zero is neither (anyone can type a random answer you know) But zero is neither prime nor composite
Is zero a composite number?
No it is not because 0 and 1 are neither prime or composite.
Is 0 prime or composite?
zero is not prime or compositeIt is neither prime nor composite. See the link.
Is zero prime composite or neither?
is a composite number. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
Is zero a composite or a prime number?
A composite number is when it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 or itself. A prime number can be divided, without a remainder, only by itself and by 1. Therefore, zero is neither a composite, nor a primary number.
Why is zero and one not considered prime neither composite?
Both zero and one are considered neither prime nor composite.
What whole number are neither prime or composite?
One is neither a prime nor a composite number. A prime number is one with exactly two positive divisors, itself and one. One has only one positive divisor which is itself so it is not prime. Furthermore, it cannot be written as a product of two factors, neither of which is itself. This tells us that one is also not composite. The other number which is neither prime not composite is Zero which has an infinite number of divisors since any nonzero whole number divides zero. Zero cannot be be written as a product of two factors, neither of which is itself, so zero is also not composite.
