I don't get it. We can multiply by zero, add zero, substract zero, make a number to the power of zero, square root zero, find a sin/cos/tan of zero but we can't devide by zero. Why?
Let's assume that A divided by B is equal to C. That would mean that C times B would equal A. Now if B were 0, and if A were any non-zero number, it would be impossible to multiply C by 0 and get A. I'm not too great at explaining math, but that's pretty much it.
if i take a pizza and divide it by 0, then that means i never actually divided it. Its still a whole pizza. If i divide a pizza by 8, then theres 8 slices, so i divided it 8 times.
Say you have the number x. If x/0 = y, then it follows that y * 0 = x. As everyone knows, 0 times anything is obviously 0, ergo, there is no solution.
Yeah, this explains it pretty well. Once you take Calculus, and study limits, it will make even more sense. Apparently the only one who followed the link

if x / y = z, then x = y * z. let x = 1, y = 0 1 / 0 = z 1 = 0z 1 = 0 No matter what you multiply zero by, it's always zero. Therefore, you cannot divide by zero. Oh, and division by zero doesn't equal infinity, because zero multiplied infinitely is still zero, and not the numerator.

[QUOTE="yodariquo"]. let x = 1, y = 0 1 / 0 = z 1 = 0z 1 = 0 Redgarl
you can't manipulate a function that has been divided by 0 any further, it's already false....
You can prove that 1 + 1 = 0 by doing something similar. you can't, it would defy basic mathematical law. Once you have found a statement to be false, anything beyond that point cannot be considered a valid conclusion.

1 / 0,000001 = 1X10^6
so
1 / 0,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 ==> infinity For division by zero to equal infinity, infinity multiplied by zero must equal infinity. It only approaches infinity, it will never reach it.
