No zero is not a factor. Its very attributes prevent it from being a factor of any non-zero number and since 0 times any number is equal to zero, it does not tell us the relationship between the number and zero that creates the number being factored (i.e. 12 = 6*2, therefore, those factors show their relative effect in creating 12.)
