A prime number has exactly positive two divisors: 1 and itself. But 0 0 \frac 00 is undefined. Hence 0 is not prime.

For an integer to be prime it must be > 1 >1 . But 0 1 0\ngtr1 , so 0 0 cannot be prime.

In order to be prime, zero would have to have two divisors, but it has infinitely many! Is antiprime
