Question

okay serious topic - if you have 0 groups of zero then you have 0 groups of zero, correct?

Answer 1

so 0/0 is still 0, logically - at least to me it makes sense, how about to you?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

I know there is a thing about multiplication, but 0 x 0 is still 0

Answer 4

To piggyback off of what you said in All Subs, 0/0 isn’t Undefined, it’s considered Indeterminate, which only occurs when the division is zero, by zero.

0x0 is specifically zero because it’s trying to duplicate the group, not to quantify it into a smaller value (as division does, given the numerator is smaller).

Answer 5

And divide by zero is Undefined when a number is n >= 1

Answer 6

ive heard it can be infinity and also -infinity at the same time as you get closer to 0/0

Answer 7

yeah - but if i draw it my brain says its still 0

Answer 8

what is there is nothing, also known in math as 0

Answer 9

3d variable

Answer 10

Let’s put it this way:

You can’t put 0 items into 0 groups, as there is simply no group to put “no items”

Answer 11

i think what my brain is doing is counting 0 as a phyiscal object

Answer 12

question: why can't I put 0 items into 0 groups?

Answer 13

I mean if there is no group and no items then there is nothing total

Answer 14

which in math - is 0

Answer 15

You’re counting 0 as an object that exists on the same level as (-inf,0),(0,inf), even though it is not on that same level

Answer 16

what would happen if we just counted it as 0?

Answer 17

how much damage would it do to mathimatics?

Answer 18

That’s a prediction I’m not able to make, lol

Answer 19

Think of it like this:

"If you had 0 groups of " x "and split them between 0 people, how many would each person get?"

The variable x, means nothing in this case, yes? And x may take on any form.

But we are using 0 for x, and now the question is: "If you had 0 groups of 0 and split them between 0 people, how many would each person get?"

Since there are no groups and no people, each person would get... nothing.
Everyone gets nothing, because there's nothing to give.

It's a purely conceptual idea: with nothing to divide and no recipients, everyone gets nothing.

Logically, in this specific conceptual scenario, you could say 0/0 = 0, because I'm describing a situation where nothing is being divided and nothing is being given.

Answer 20

In your own definition, 0 people wouldn’t get anything as they don’t exist, hence undefined and indeterminate

Answer 21

Hold up - another dumb question anything x anything can equal 29 - does this mean that 29 is inderterminate?
