Which longitude coordinate is the closest to the prime meridian?

The Prime Meridian itself is defined as zero longitude. (0°) You can't get any closer to it than that. The higher the number of degrees of longitude, the farther a given longitude is from the prime meridian. The maximum is 180° either east or west. There is no minimum. Whatever longitude you name, no matter how close it is to the Prime Meridian, I can always name one that's closer to it than yours is. It's like asking "What is the smallest number ?" There's no such thing.
