Hello there!

No, 1 is not the only number that is neither prime nor composite.

0 is neither prime not composite because it has infinite factors. Composite numbers have more than 2 factors, but they must have a finite amount o factors. Since 0 has infinite factors, then it's neither prime nor composite.

Hope it helps!
