I Learned How to Divide by Zero (Don't Tell Your Teacher)

I don't really get the point about obsession to not make division by 0 undefined. As far as a can tell "nullity" is just a way of having something be undefined without saying "undefined". Any expression that depends on a sub-expression that is undefined is undefined, so in this sense nullity is exactly like "undefined". But even at a more basic level, the basic definition of any division a/b is some quantity q (hopefully unique) such that a=q*b. But if for (a any defined value) b=0 you say that q=⊥, then you don't even have a=q*b because the right hand side is ⊥.

We haven't been lied to. When we say 'undefined' we mean "not defined in for these purposes or in this context."

May be 0∞

I came with one question. I went back with the unsigned infinity

Pure drivel.

Brain hurt.

I'm by no means great at math, but dividing by zero resulting in zero just seems intuitive to me.
They way I was taught division was that it was like taking your numerator and dividing it into the number of groups provided by the denominator.
To divide something into no groups is annihilation, it is nothing and nothing is represented with zero.
It makes sense if you consider that trying to get closer and closer results in infinitely large numbers, but they are equally infinite positively and negatively, which should result in zero right?
It's like the speed of light in a sense, we know what it is, even if we can't get there with methods known to us. It's illusive to achieve but not unknowable, or at least knowable to the point where it can be applied successfully in the real world.
Though you could make a case for dividing by zero is the same as not dividing.

No wonder why the Romans didn’t use zero

i love men so much

Big up to that one guy in the playground who said the biggest number is 10

I was going to divide by zero, but there was nothing in it for me.

So the number line is this-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0 θ+0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 so 0x0 is θ middle zero also 0÷0 is -0 negative zero

I know that 0 divided by 0 is -0 😂

Or divide by 0^2. The problem is the 1/x function, but by using a 1/x^2 function you are assuring it only approaches infinity since negative numbers squared become positive.

He had good teachers, but he decided to become a blogger

I just realized that this guy has learned to write backwards

We can define 1/0 as another imaginary number, say "j", forming another complex plane and a complex 3d space. Multiplying by i rotates numbers 90 degrees counterclockwise around the j axis, and multiplying by j rotates around the i axis. We can create extra dimensions for more undefined numbers.

÷0 is infinity

just try to divide a number of cookies among zero kids

Uhh is there supposed to be a mini black hole following me around?

1 divided by 0 = infinity was discovered by Astronomer mathematician Bhaskaracharya in year 1200 ,Bharut(India)in his book Lilavati dedicated to her daughter.

You know, back when I was a kid I learned that x/0= y remainder z

In the largest number question I alwys threw them infinity raised to infinity power.
BTW, Yes I took calculus. For my major of Meteorology I had to take one course past calc. I took differential Equations. BTW, I'm 76, worked for A.F. as a meteorologist for almost 36 years, retired in 2009.

Dividing by Zero can break many

Informative!
I'll be taking this information to my grave

I mean, 1 divided by 0 should be 1. Look at this:
Johnny has 1 cookie and no one to split it with. So, he eats the cookie himself. There it is: 1/0=1 😂😂😅

That dead pixel is killing me just like dividing by zero.

My understanding is that approaching 0 is not 0. That is the reason when ∞ involved, the "law of commutation" does not work any more.

A whole pizza(1) divided into 8 pieces is 1/8...so a whole pizza divided zero times( by zero) is still a whole pizza...therefore x/0 = x.

Please, never allow this person do constukt a brisge ode airplane or another thing.... 😂

Can we divide by 0, yes.
Should we divide by 0, no.

Reaching an indefinite limit is impractical. No actual purpose.

Big out outs

0÷0 =?

Inf/inf=1 0/0=every number inf-inf=0

1/0=inf 5/0=inf+4 inf/0=inf + inf 1/0=inf/inf*0=1

Actually the real answer is ♾️ remainder 1 because if I tried to multiply 0 by something to make 1 0✖️anything 🟰 0 so subtract 1 ➖ 0 🟰1 which would be the remainder so the answer would be ♾️ remainder 1

waste of time

One thing you’re told that you can absolutely NOT do is also commit a crime

Well, I think anything divided by 0 equals to 0, since 1/0 is like sharing an apple evenly with... no one! So, 1/0 = 0.

What if your kids and you want to know

1÷0.1=10
1÷0.01=100
1÷10^-10=10^10
1÷10^-10{10}10=10{10}10

(Warning Dont Try This At Home) This Is A Dangerous Experiment We Will Divide By 0

anything divide by 0 = infinite + negative infinity

When u say “problem solved… right? Not quite.” My teacher: AHHHHHHH WTF AGAIN

I submit that dividing by zero is the same as dividing by one. If you buy a pizza and then you simply don’t divide at all you still have a pizza. Dividing something that exists by zero should not remove the object. This would likely be a personal pan pizza. Now I’m hungry.
