EzraZero has an infinite number of factors.
Explanation
Think of a factor as a number that divides another number exactly, that is to say with no remainder. So 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 divided by 2 is 3 exactly. Take an integer n, and we way m is a factor of n if and only if m multiplied by some other integer k equals n. We call k and m a factor pair. For example, 4X1 and 2X2 are the factor pairs of 4. Now consider 0 and observe that any m can be multiplied by 0 to get 0 so there is an infinite number of factors. Every real number can be part of a factor pair with 0. So there are infinite factors and infinite factor pairs.

What are the Common factors of 0 and 4?
Zero is not a factor of 4. Zero is only a factor of zero! The factors of 4 are 1, 4, 2 The factors of zero are zero and any other number. Therefore the common factors are 1,2 and 4
What are two numbers that have no common factors greater than zero?
All numbers have common factors greater than zero.
What are the factors and prime factors of 0?
Zero is "divisible" by all whole numbers, but as the process is irreversible (you cannot divide by zero), I've always thought zero as "outside the system" of factoring.
What number has infinite factors?
0. Any number multiplied by zero equals zero.
Why is zero not a prime or composite?
A prime number is a number with two factors. Zero has no factors, and therefore, is not a prime number.A composite number is a number which can be expressed as a product of two or more non-zero integers. It is impossible to do this with 0.
