Zero together with the even nonprimes. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 04 2009
The nonprime numbers (A018252) begin: 1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,... So the words "prime" and "nonprime" normally refer to the natural numbers or positive integers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,... (Zero is not a member of A018252. See also the definition of A141468). - Omar E. Pol, Aug 04 2009
