Twilight Dirac 718 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I don't get the whole 0 divded by 0 thing... Isn't the answer just 0? No. In the case of 0/0, every scalar number is a solution. Basically in division you are searching for a number that when multiplied by the denominator will give you back the numerator. For example: 6/3 = 2 because 3*2 = 6 But in the case of 0/0, 0*anything = 0 so not only is 0 a solution, but so is 1, 10, 10,000, etc. That is why the answer is usually given as undefined.
