You cannot divide by 0, it is undefined

anonymous · Answer

i always tend to think things divided by 0 should be 0. If i divide something into 2 pieces i have 2, if i divide it into 1 piece i have one. if i divide something into no pieces i have no pieces i have 0

anonymous · Answer

You can also think this way. Anything divided by 0 can be divided infinite number of times. For example: If I have 4 candies, and I divide them to 2 kids, I can only at the maximum give 2 to each one of them.
But suppose I have 4 candies and there are no kids at all, then I can divide them indefinitely because there is no real division going on.

anonymous · Answer

a good point. what about $$4 \div \frac{1}{0}$$

anonymous · Answer

i think

anonymous · Answer

i thought it would be $$\frac{4 \times 0}{1} = 0$$

anonymous · Answer

It would be infinity.
Any number divided by infinity is infinity because then the denominator changes to 0.

anonymous · Answer

ok
