Answer: Neither prime nor composite

Step-by-step explanation: Since 1 divides into 1 exactly one time, 1 is the only factor of one. Prime numbers are numbers that only have two factors and composite numbers are numbers with more than two factors. Since 1 only has 1 factor, we will call it neither prime nor composite.
