Explanation -
It is neither prime nor composite. Since any number times zero equals zero, there are an infinite number of factors for a product of zero.

Answer:
0, 1
Prime Number Definition:
A prime number is a whole number with two integral divisors — 1 and itself. For example, 2; it is both divisible by 1 and itself (2), but not any other number.
Composite Number Definition:
A composite number is a whole number with more than two integral divisors.
Why 0 and 1 are neither Prime, nor Composite:
The 1 is not a prime, since it has only one divisor.
Since any number times 0 equals 0, there are an infinite number of factors for a product of 0. A composite number must have a finite number of factors.
