No......

 

A prime number is only divisible by itself and 1

 

0 is definitely not divisible by itself, but it is divisible by every other number except itself.

i kind of have a diffrent mind.....

 

0 can be divisible by itself.... Actully every number can.

0 / 0 = 0.....

9 / 9 = 1

and so on.

 

But, other then that, 0 is NOT a prim number, since it can be divided by every other number.

 

by the way, i prime number is something that can be divisible by more then 2 ways to divide it (i have no idea if i am even saying this right.).

And numbers that can only be divied by itself, and 1, such as 3, is called a composite number (i think)

 

sorry for the late reply even tought you have the answer, and Happy new year!cool

Basic rule of maths.

You cannot divide by zero, the operation is not defined, you are not allowed to do it.

0/0 is meaningless.

Get used to it.
