Question

Which statement is true about 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It is a whole number that is neither prime nor composite.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a number that has two factors: one and another number. Thus, since 1 only has one factor (itself), it cannot be a prime number.

However, a composite number must have more than two factors, which 1 doesn't have either.

Since 1 is a whole number (not a decimal or fraction), and it is neither prime nor composite, the answer would be C.

Have a nice day!
