Answer:
1 is neither prime nor composite
Step-by-step explanation:
prime number=a number has only two factors one and itself
composite number=a number has more than two factors..
factors of 1=1 only
so it doesn't satisfy both the norms of prime and composite...
Hence 1 is the answer

A natural number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) is called a prime number (or a prime) if it has exactly two positive factors, 1 and the number itself. Natural numbers that have more than two positive factors are called composite. 1 has only one positive factor i.e. no.1 only. Hence 1 is neither prime nor composite.
