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.

Don't tell me you thought ppl will care?

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

This is a world of dumb ppl

Tru

It's an imperfect world but it's the best we got

obgectshion how mutch would 5 people get it there are 0 candies

Wrong way gibbs

what? oh that yeah i wss wrong it is 5 dividid by 0

yep. Ur fine tho

the anser is 0

Well that's 0 divided by 5, which is 0.

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

But it does sound like a valid argument

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?

Convince me

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

Save it for the math/engineering teachers

Undefined justice my good sir

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.

People SHOULD take notice to the fact you used the word should in this meme

anything divided by 0 is 0

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

My calculator shows it as infinity

that is the case

No, because, say it’s 1/0, it would been 1 = 1

it's the same 0+0-0divided by 0=0
