Any number can multiply into zero, including zero itself (so it's not prime--it has infinite factors).
In fact, a zero product requires at least one zero factor (so it's not composite, either--no two numbers--or one used twice--other than zero can form a product of zero).
Indeed, zero's unique properties are what cause it to mess up divisions. They're why you can't divide by zero.
Zero is...a zero (or perhaps to use a more technical term, a zero-divisor), a unique and fundamentally important member of the integers. Its importance becomes more significant when one begins to study more fundamental mathematics like Modern Algebra.

Zero is an even number but it is not composite (nor prime).
zero
No. A prime number is divisible by one and itself only- a number ending in zero is divisible by factor/s of ten.
