Because one does not go into zero. A Prime number is any number that has only one and itself as factors. Since one goes in to zero no times, the number is not prime.

Is zero an even or odd or prime number?
0 is an integer. 0 is an even number since it is divisible by 2. Since it is an even number, it is not an odd number. 0 is not prime, since it is divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself.
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.
Can a even number connot be a prime number?
2 is even, and it is a prime number. No other even number is prime, since by definition, an even number has 2 as a factor.
Is 992 a prime number?
No. No even number can be prime and 992 is an even number.
If you add a prime number and a prime number will the sum always be prime?
If you add two prime numbers that are odd numbers, the sum will be an even number. Because even numbers are divisible by 2, no even number greater than 2 is a prime number. Here are some examples:3 + 3 = 6 which is an even number and thus not a prime number5 + 7 = 12 which is an even number and thus not a prime number11 + 13 = 24 which is an even number and thus not a prime number19 + 41 = 60 which is an even number and thus not a prime numberIf you add a prime number that is odd to the only even prime number (2), you will have an odd number. This odd number might be prime or might be composite. Here are some examples:2 + 3 = 5 which is a prime number2 + 7 = 9 which is a composite number2 + 23 = 25 which is a composite number2 + 41 = 43 which is a prime numberQuestion what is zero = composite0 x 1 = 00 x 4 = 00 x 16 = 00 x 64 = 0
