1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself.
0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.
