You know, a number upon itself
is 1.Then what's
0/0!!

It is undefined. Why? Consider the calculus approach.
Let f=x, g=ax (a not 0). Then lim (x to 0 f/g = 1/a which can be any (non-zero) real number, depending on the value of a.
Now let f=x g=ax^2, lim f/g=infty. And lim g/f = 0.
But all of these appear to be in the form 0/0, so having 0/0 as a limit doesn't tell you anything.
Similar reasoning applies to forms such as infty/infty, 1^infty, etc...

Give me a minute and a few lines to work out please.
0/0
= a/0-a/0 where a is any finite number
= infinity minus infinity
Conceptually I would not call it either undefined or indeterminate. I think conceptually when infinity is removed from infinity, infinity ought to still remain. That's the way I understand infinity.
My answer therefore is infinity.
How was that for high level conceptual maths ?

GRAHHHH! ok, let me settle this once and for all. x/0, where x is any number= undefined. It just doesn't work. Something over 0 is not infinite. Even 0/0 is not 0 or 1. It's undefined.

23 / 0 is not infinite but undefined so is 0 / 0.
this Q was one that RAMANUJAM asked when their teacher told them how to devide numbers

0/0 is not undefined. the answer is zero. 23/0 can be referred as undefined just as infinite.

use a calculus approach
0/1 = 0
0/0.1 = 0
0/0.001=0
0/0.0000000000000000001=0
0/extremely small number = 0
therefore in the limit 0/0 = 0

By definition, 0/0 is undefined.
Go figure.

1. the correct answer is 1. some thing / same thing = 1. even if it is 0 ( zero) also the answer is 1(one) only.

0/0 is undefined. It is called "indeterminate"
