Question

What is 1/0.1 ? I DONT WANT THE VALUE. just the pure meaning of it. like 2*3 means 2+2+2. AND 1/2 means a thing which is divided into two equal parts.

Answer 1

ALSO PLZ ANY ONE CAN EXPLAIN ME WHAT 0/0 really means.

Answer 2

It is a simple division... and similar to 1/2...

as u know, 1/2 is dividing into half..

1/ 0.1 = dividing into some x parts , each of 0.1 units...

where, x = 1/0.1 = 10...

Answer 3

YEAH NOW THAT IS WHERE I GOT PROBLEM.
IN 1/2 it is divided into 2 parts
But in 1/0.1 it is divide into 10 parts. shouldn't it also be 0.1 parts and size of each part is 10 which is more than the initial quantity.

Answer 4

0/0 can be any number. Let's look at it from a different perspective.
Let x be the number
x = 0/0
0x = 0
^ see what I did there?

Answer 5

I also used to think the same way. But now I came to know that is wrong. @georgeblue22

Answer 6

how is it wrong then?

Answer 7

how can u cut nothing into nothing pieces and get something.
DOES not make sense right?

Answer 8

it does in this case. if you take a number and divide by 0, it is undefined.
x = 1/0
0x = 1 ???
but the only exception is 0/0
sometimes maths is like that, hard to predict, but we must always look at it mathematically

Answer 9

How can a number which is undefined be operated on like normal numbers?

Answer 10

Undefined numbers cause all the problems! Let me prove that \(2 = 1\).

Let's assume that \(a = b\).
\(a^2 = ab\)
\(a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2\)
Factor.
\((a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)\)
Divide both sides by \(a - b\).
\(a + b = b\)
Since \(a = b\), we may substitute \(a\) with \(b\).
\(b + b = b\)
\(2b = b\)
Divide both sides by 2.
\(2 = 1\)

Answer 11

^that's because b = 0

Answer 12

The explanation is that \(a - b = 0\), and we can't divide both sides by \(0\).

Answer 13

Remember that the number \(0\) either causes problems or isn't necessary in isolation.

Answer 14

ha ha, ohkey , this is explanation for what i understand from your question...

whatever term used in bottom, it says that u dividing ( cutting down ) the original piece in that number of parts... and what u get after solving is size of each part...
eg: 1/2 = 0.5

Now 1/1 = 1... there is no cut.. everything on its place..

anything goes below that, the statement still remains same.. except what u dividing is size of each part and the answer u get is number of pieces..
eg: 1/0.5 = 2

Hope this answers ur question...

Answer 15

• Don't divide by 0, as division by 0 results both sides to become infinite.
• Don't multiply by 0, as both sides will become equal even if they are not!
• Don't add/subtract by 0, as it doesn't help to do so(you'd just get the same equality even if you do so).

Answer 16

Hmm, and the answer to the original question.

\(0.1 \times \text{some number} = 1\)

That's an oral question, because we just multiply 10 to shift the decimal one to the left. :)

Answer 17

It means 1 is divided into 10 equal parts each of length 0.1..
