Well that's what anything multiplied by 0 is. Division doesn't work that way, mathematically it would make no sense if something divided by 0 was 0. The reason that equation doesn't work is because anything multiplied by 0 is always 0, so therefor, anything divided by 0 is beyond infinity and impossible to calculate.

Clearly someone thought people would care enough to post a mathematically incorrect meme ;)

I have a serious argument answer to why it should be infinity (at least mostly) if you're seriously interested in hearing it.

It isn't. 8/2=4 is true because the quotient can be multiplied by the divisor to recreate the dividend (4*2=8); it's reversable. But if 8/0=infinity, infinity*0 does not equal 8! So it's really just undefined

If you calculate it that way, yes, but there's still a way to get infinity, and it has applications today so it's not just random. Do you want to know?

I'll try. So in computer science, at least in some parts, division is done by asking how many times can you subtract. For example, 9 / 4 means how many times can you subtract 4 from 9 to get the non-remainder, non-decimal value. The answer here is 2. As 9 / 4 = 2, you can subtract 4 from 9 a total of 2 times. Following this logic, how many times can you subtract 0 from 9? Infinity times.

That is a good explanation. Well done sir

But it does sound like a valid argument

To divide anything by 0 would mean that you're trying to put something into 0 groups. Since there are no groups, no one would know how much of that something would be in each group, there aren't any groups in the first place. The true answer is indefinable, but it makes logical sense. Although it seems weird that we can't come up with a quantifiable number.

If 0+0 is 0 and 0-0 is 0 and 0x0 is 0, 0/0 should also be 0

My calculator shows it as infinity

No, because, say it’s 1/0, it would been 1 = 1
0 ups, 2y
that is the case
0 ups, 2y
it's the same 0+0-0divided by 0=0

There's a logical explanation! If you had 47845 billion dollars and divided it among 0 people, there are 0 groups so the $$$ would not belong to any group. Claiming that $47,845,000,000,000 divided by 0 = 0 would be illogical because where would all the money go? Did it just vanish into thin air?
