what is(0) as prime or composite

1 answer

The number \(0\) is neither prime nor composite. By definition, a prime number is a natural number greater than \(1\) that has no positive divisors other than \(1\) and itself. A composite number is a natural number greater than \(1\) that has more than two distinct positive divisors. Since \(0\) does not meet the criteria for either classification, it is considered neither prime nor composite.
