Neither.
0/0 is indeterminate, or undefined.

0 / 0 = can be any no. including 0 ( from 0 to infinity any no.).
because 0 / 0 = a, ......................(suppose 'a' is answer)
so 0 = 0 x a or
0/a = 0
but when u multiply zero by any no. or divide 0 by any no., answer is zero. so 'a' can be any no. viz. from zero to infinity.

well, if you divide zero by zero or infinity by infinity, you have to use l'hospital's rule by taking the derivative of the denominator and the numerator separately, then dividing them. I know you might have no clue what I'm talking about, but in case you're in calculus class, there ya go!

It is Undetermined because say X / Z = Y so Y * Z = X
Now if X is equal to 0 and Z is equal to 0
Y * 0 = 0
Now usualy the answer would be one since 1 * X = X if X were 0
But being 0, theres a lot of different answeres so it is undetermined

You cannot divide by zero. It's not infinity, but rather, undefined.

0/0 is an indeterminable solution as defined by a mathmetician. it is neither infinity or zero. the solution is UNDEFINED or DOES NOT EXIST (DNE)
and bugi...ur reatrded....technically with ur reasoning that anything divided by itself is 1 not 0...one can tell u did not do well in math

Undefined

zero devided by zero is undefined because 0/0 can be anthing ie -3,pi/log(8)..anything..multiply any of those by zero (the check to see if you devided right) and you'll get zero)....so it's undefined.

Neither...
0/0 is NOT allowed in Math,, it is undefined.
Thats why there is La Hopital's rule for finding the limits of equations that turn out such

undefined
limit of a fraction where top and bottom both converge to zero depends on which one converges faster.
