Dividing by zero

What is Division By Zero? Division by zero is considered as undefined where zero is the denominator or the division and is expressed as a/0, a being a number or numerator or dividend. In other words, dividing zero with any number will always give us a zero not matter with multiplication or division.

Dividing by zero is a fundamental concept in mathematics that poses a problem in standard arithmetic. In standard arithmetic, division is defined as the inverse operation of multiplication, where a ÷ b = c if and only if a = c × b. However, when you divide by zero, the equation becomes a = c × 0, which is true for any value of a, as any number multiplied by zero is zero. This creates a mathematical contradiction, making it impossible to define a meaningful result for division by zero in standard arithmetic.
