1 is considered to be a unit. A set of primes, composites and a unit make the natural number system.

By elimination, we can say that the only choice left was "the loneliest number" However, Is it Justice to call it the loneliest for some other numbers are as lonely as the case of 1 here? lol. 0 is neither positive nor negative. That's lonely too I guess. hehe.

What about 0? They are both neither prime nor composite. And even more confusing, negative numbers.
