Is zero considered an even number?
Yes.
Why is zero neither a prime nor composite number?
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.
Is 0 considered a number?
Yes, it is considered a number. In the past, people had difficulties accepting zero as a number, but nowadays it is universally accepted as such.
What is the first number above zero?
There is no first number above 0. If x was considered to be the first number above zero then x/2 would be above zero but nearer to it. And then half that number would be above zero and nearer still. And so on.
Why is it possible to divide zero by a nonzero number?
It is possible to divide 0 by any number that is not zero because it is just zero of that number, like 1/7 is one seventh of one, 0/7 is zero sevenths of one. You can not divide any number by zero, however. 7/0 is considered undefined.
