Neither, it's not natural

It's neither. Primes and composites are integers > 1

How repugnant to address 0, may as well hiccup.

You're a fucking retard OP.

fuck off, godson

It's composite because it can be expressed in a form other than 1*itself. 0 = 0 * n for any n, so its composite.

Hey kid, 0 here. It is I, where it all began where butter meets the play, I live before every beginning.

I have come to answer retard OPs question.

Yes.

The definitions of prime and composite are only for natural numbers greater than 1. 0 is outside the scope of these terms, so the question is meaningless. Is 1/2 prime or composite. The question is meaningless. What is 1/0? The expression is meaningless because rational numbers are not defined for b = 0.

0 can’t be expressed as a rectangle because there is no area.

>idiots claiming 0 is not natural
the only bigger idiot in this thread is OP. 0 is literally divisible by any number except for itself, so it's very obviously composite

>>15162467
[math]0[/math] is a prime ideal of [math]\mathbb{Z}[/math], make of that what you will, anon

>>15162467
p is prime <=> p|ab => p|a or p|b.
0 fits this definition.

>>15162694
You left put the definition of n>1
Negative integers fit your definition too but clearly aren't prime.

>>15162570
Cope nigger faggot

>>15162467
All numbers are composites of 1, Even 0. Primes the composites that are isometries of 1 alone.

>>15162720
Or maybe it was primes are isotropies of 1 and not other composites.

0 is lewd af, and its massive, GAPING, hole makes me all crazy and libidinal....
