If you divide 6 by 3 the answer is 2 because 2 times 3 IS 6. If you divide 6 by zero, then you are asking the question, "What number times zero gives 6?" The answer to that one, of course, is no number, for we know that zero times any real number is zero not 6. So we say that division by zero is undefined, for it is...

Why can't you divide a number by 0? ... To make this idea clear, mathematicians call division by zero "undefined" -- meaning that it doesn't really make any *sense* to try to split a number into zero groups. If I'm wrong on this, I'm sure one of the other "doctors" will correct me!

In mathematics, a division is called a division by zero if the divisor is zero. Such a division can be formally expressed as a /0 where a is the dividend. Whether this expression can be assigned...

Division is a continuous process. Suppose b and c are both non-zero. Then, in a sense that can be made precise. the ratios a/b and a/c will be close if b and c are close. ... The reason that the result of a division by zero is undefined is the fact that any attempt at a definition leads to a contradiction.

Question: I have a question about dividing with zero. When the numerator is zero, the answer is zero. But when the denominator is zero, the answer is undefined. Why? I don't understand ... You have to look into the meaning of division, rather than just the pocket calculator.

chris j stella Answer 1: If you are talking about division in the real numbers, then the answer is that values of expressions of the form x/0 are undefined. In other words, you don't and you can see that the LIMIT of the Y-sequence approaches zero and the limit of the X/Y sequence just keeps on getting larger and larger,

We usually say that division by zero is undefined. I don't think that I ever got a satisfying explanation to this until I went to college. I'll try to offer two different explanations. ... What does this say about division by zero? Well, to make this concrete, 5*0 = 0. Now divide both sides by 5 to find that 0 / 5 = 0 .
