And could it be an even prime number? Zero divided by itself is zero, but zero divided by one is zero. So this confuses me.
Consider red, blue, and yellow. Do you argue that a red ball is yellow because that ball is not blue? Consider the boundary line between Canada and the US: is it in Canada or the US or both?Zero is not a negative integer, so is it positive?

Zero is said to be a neutral number, neither positive nor negative. A positive integer n is said to be prime if the only positive integers that go evenly into it are 1 and the number n itself. Well 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... all go evenly into zero so zero is the absolute worst candidate for being prime. 0/0 is not zero. 0/0 is indetermined. You really need to learn your definitions. Math is like a game where you can't play the game very well if you do not know the rules (definitions).Zero is not a negative integer, so is it positive?
