what is 0 divided by 0?

Answer 1

0/0 is an "indeterminate form".

This means that it's not only undefined, but that if two functions f(x) and g(x) both approach 0 as x approaches some number, then f(x)/g(x) could approach any finite number or ∞ or −∞; it depends on which functions f and g are.

I know this is a confusing answer, but 0/0 is a very unique case in mathematics and frustratingly provides no direct answer.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

What Is 0 Divided By 0

Answer 3

Divided By 0

Answer 4

If you are studying calculus, 0/0 is one of the indeterminate form. This only means that we can't determine the real answer would be cause there are so much possibilities that a certain number will equals to 0/0. As e.g. if 0*5 = 0 then 0/0 = 5 or if 9*0 = 0 then 0/0 = 9. You get what i mean?
And it will become clear to you if you are studying calculus.

Answer 6

Look at it this way:

8/4 = 2, because 2*4 = 8.
15/3 = 5, because 5*3 = 15.
Now 0/0 = x ---> 0*x = 0. This has an infinite number of solutions - any value of x will do. So the value of 0/0 is undetermined.

Answer 7

well 2*0=0
that implies 0/0=2
again 100*0=0
that implies 0/0=100
any number*0 gives 0 which implies0*0 is that number

therefore 0/0 is an indetermined form

Answer 8

It is infinity, not undefined. Here's how:
Take any basic fraction:
4/2
4/2 equates to 2 as 2*2 = 4
To find the value of 0/0, you need to know the number that yields 0 when multiplied by 0. In other words, let the number be 'x'.
0x = 0
'x' can assume any value as 0 multiplied with anything always yields 0. There are infinite possibilities for 'x'.
So, 0/0 = infinity.

Answer 9

0/0 is by definition an 'indeterminate form'
However it exists as a limit of some rational functions.
When this is so, it must be left as it is and considered indeterminate.

Sometimes even when this comes out as a limit, that is not the correct solution in the case both the functions forming the ratinal function are differentiable.This is the famous L'Hopital's rule.And it can again be applied to the resulting function thus leading to higher order derivatives of the function.

These expressions are a subject of interest to Mathematics and normally studied under Analysis.

Answer 10

Before posing a question try to think of it in real terms.

If you have nothing in your hand how can you divide it ?

If you had ten items in your hand you could divide them among a number of people, if the number of people are zero then how can you divide. Sometimes hypothetical matth solutions are looking in a slightly different way taht is why the answers are different.

That is why 10/0 is infinity ( actually it is assuming that the numerator is almost zero or very close to zero ). e.g. 10/0.0000000000000000001

As others have answered 0/0 = 0
