How do you properly divide by zero?

When I type any number divided by zero into my calculator, it flashes, "ERROR, ERROR," but I say it's possible. "It's not possible to divide by zero," my math teacher says, but who cares about her? Here's my data after graphing it out: If any positive number is divided by zero, it's infinity, if it's negative, it's negative infinity, and zero divided by zero is one. NO NO, you cannot divide by zero, really. See my discussion post.


Is any number divided by zero equal to zero?

No. Any number TIMES zero is zero. Any number DIVIDED by zero is infinity You can show this easily. Take any number - say 100. Divide it by 10 and the answer is 10. Now make the number that you divide into the 100 smaller - say, 5. The answer is now larger - 20 Carry on making the number that you divide into 100 smaller and smaller like this: 100 divided by 1 is 100 100 divided by 0.1 is 1000 100 divided by 0.01 is 10,000 100 divided by 0.001 is 100,000 So as the number you divide into 100 gets smaller the answer gets larger and larger. So when the number you divide becomes zero, then the answer must become infinity.

Zero divided by zero equals undefined?

If there is a number that zero is divided by zero then it's an error. Look on your calculator. If you press in 0 divided by 0 then there would be a zero but the is an error on the side. And also any number that is divided by zero would be error because of something...I forgot but yeah.And if your doing an equation then you have an equation that is divided by zero then your equation would be an indefied equation.I hope that I helped.The first answer is a common misconception and the second answer is closer to being correct. Suppose for example that we went with the first answer and sais 3/0 = infinity, then multiplying both sides by zero would give3 = 0*infinity and we could do the same for any other number. Clearly this is non-sensical and so we say any number divided by zero is undefined.
