trivial
Not worth mentioning
Trivial describes something of little importance or consequence: a trivial matter, trivial details.
What counts as trivial depends on context—a trivial error in casual conversation might be significant in a legal document.
In mathematics, a trivial solution is the obvious or uninteresting one, like x = 0.
The word can dismiss: Don't bother me with trivial questions.
