Consider these mathematical laws:

1) Any real number, when divided by zero, produces modulus and quotient zero.
Example: 0/2 = 0

2) Any real number multiplied by zero is equal to zero.

Therefore, it logically follows, that zero divided by zero is equal to zero.


WTF AM I READING, guys?

√1- = i

2/0 = 2PLACEMENTHOLDER

.. why not..?

what do you mean? why did you post something like this anyway?
i thought i am going to learn how to divide using zero but the answer is still zero

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_coordinates

In homogeneous coordinates when Z is 0, the point is at infinity. However the point (0, 0, 0) is undefined!

I can barely process trigonometry. This is worse than trying to read ancient Vulcan scrolls.

What happens is that, as one moves "upwards or downwards through the levels of" (Weisenstein) arithmetic's number line, one "arives where one started," hyperzero [1/0] - which is equivalent to zero (except, at a different location).
Correct me if I'm confused, but if you are dividing by zero, aren't you not moving at all?

I cannot process this sorcery.

Quote from: Weisstein, Eric W.
A strange loop is a phenomenon in which, whenever movement is made upwards or downwards through the levels of some hierarchical system, the system unexpectedly arrives back where it started.

Look over this article on the "strange loop."

Impossible, you cannot put something into nothing

Unless you think in literal terms;

Numerator = number of whatever
Denominator = number of groups that numerator goes into

0/1
Possible; you can put nothing in a group.

1/0
Impossible, you cannot put something into nothing

With that same logic - any number, when divided by itself produces 1.

x / x = 1

so when x is 0, 0 / 0 = 1. Uh-oh paradox... Smiley

dividing by 0 will always give a mathematics error. infinity. btw its has few if any applications.
there are no applications because it's not possible.

This is one incredible thread, i tell ya ...  Cheesy

It is done every day. Taken for example PHP programming, if variable in divisor is undef or zero. Spills out Zero always, which is kinda strange if you compare with what you learned at school.

Theory and practice I say.

The world we live in is a complex world with questions more than answers. Dividing by zero simply means that you have divided something into infinite small parts, consequently giving infinite parts.

In the case of the United States, even 50 is turning into zero more and more.

Another logical conclusion would be, that zero is not a number, but a lack of one. It's a state.
