0 Divided by 0 = 0

[@Roach-zt6fc]

In my mind, I say division is giving a fixed number of ice-cream to a fixed number of kids. If I have 10 ice-creams, and 5 kids I can give them to, how many ice-creams does one kid get? The answer is 10/5=2. However, if I have 10 ice-creams, but there aren't any kids that I can give them to, how many does one kid get? Well, we can't say zero OR 10, which means such an operation is undefined.

[@ykrareih1559]

What about Lelouch? He got divided by Zero lol

[@magicmailman]

If you divide by 0 it is 0 because say you have 10 cookies if you divided them between 2 people each person gets 5 well we all know that but if you have those 10 cookies to 0 people how many dose each person get well if you have no people to give them to then no one can take them there for each person gets 0 because know people can take them

This can also very nicely be explained by using a y = 1/x graph. Where x approaching from positive x-axis to 0 gives us an Infinitely large positive number. While x approaching from negative x-axis to 0 gives us an infinitely large negative number. And 1/0 cannot be both positive and negative infinity at the same time.

[@shipweck6253]

Another interesting method is to use limits. If you look at a graph of 1/x, you’ll notice that the graph skyrockets up when approaching zero from the right, and plummets down when approaching zero from the left. This is because if we begin to approach zero from the right (or positive) side (by starting a 1 and then to 0.1 and then 0.01...), the answer approaches infinity. But when we approach zero from the left (or negative) side (from -1 to -0.1 to -0.01...) the answer approaches negative infinity. This means that if we were to assign a value to the graph when it reaches zero (yes I know you cannot do this), it would have to equal both positive and negative.

[@commentarytalk1446]

In a sense that is a perfectly valid result. Do mathematicians not know how to use it (I suppose: "yet")? I'm sure they will find a big use for it if not already.

[@hstochla]

Which also means that it can’t be a function, because that would leave two outputs for the same x value

[@HeyWh]

Yes. And if you try to find a solution to y = 8x +1 16x - 2y = -2 And do the math: 16x + -2(8x + 1) = -2 16x + -16x + -2 = -2 0x = -2 - -2 0x = -2 + 2 0x = 0 0x/0 = 0/0 It comes out to: 0/0 = ∞ So the solution is infinitely many. Which, in my logic, proves n/0 = ±∞ Depending if n is -i or i where i is an rational or irrational number.

[@HeyWh]

@@hstochla it can also be a solution of two linear functions. Where there's the same slope and y-intercept. y = -x 7x + 7y = 0 Equations ↑ Steps↓ 7x + 7(-x) = 0 7x - 7x = 0 0x = 0 0x/0 = 0/0 Solution ↓ 0/0 = ∞ There are infinitely many solutions to this problem.

I sometimes get a bit of amusement out of testing how various caculators respond to division by 0. Most just say "Error", but my favourite response has to be "MyScript Calculator", which uses hand-drawn symbols as input: The app recognises hand-drawn symbols and translates them to computer-written symbols, but when I write something like "0/0", it autocompletes to "0/(0+?)", as if the calculation is incomplete. Basically, the app just assumes that I'm not done writing the expression, and refuses to give any answer until I do. It makes the app seem so sassy. "Oh, you have a 0 in the denominator? Well, that doesn't make any sense, so you MUST not be finished writing yet. Go ahead and write some more. I'm waiting."

[@matrixphijr]

When he started talking about what multiplication and division _are,_ I thought he was going to touch on how if 2 x 5 = 10 and 10 ÷ 5 = 2, that means that if you add 2 five times, or have five groups of 2, you have 10, and if you separate 10 into 5 groups, you have 2 in each. So if you want to divide 10 by 0, that would be like saying you want to split 10 things into groups with 0 in them, and how many groups do you have? Or in reverse, how many groups of 0 things would it take to add up to 10? Well, neither one is physically possible.

[@Llortnerof]

Physically possible is pretty irrelevant to math, though. That's something for physicists and engineers to worry about. You can define a math where dividing through 0 is possible. You're probably going to have to give up some other features the more common ones have, like the distributive property or multiplicative inverses, and it might not be terribly intuitive. But it is hardly impossible. Dividing by 0 isn't forbidden, it's just not defined in the default math most people learn.

[@matrixphijr]

@@Llortnerof R/iamverysmart? Okay, but physicists and engineers _literally use math._ The reason math exists as it does is because of the world we live in. Universal constants in physics and astronomy were designed to allow us to mathematically calculate things we can't or don't have time or resources to study. And the results contribute to real-world projects. How do engineers build structures that can withstand hurricane force wind? Well, they have to calculate certain numbers and dimensions... with math. Force, vector, friction -- they're all real concepts translated into mathematical form in order to quantify them. Math does hold true because we made it that way. Sure, we could make it _not_ that way, but that wouldn't make much sense, literally or figuratively. So I really don't get the point of calling out my post by saying it's only one kind of math. Math is math. There's only one. If you wanted to "define a math" where other things are possible, that would mean changing math. Sure, you could say dividing by zero is possible, but when an apple falls from a tree, you wouldn't be able to calculate how long it takes to reach the ground. Also, when I say "physically possible," that's not the same as saying things are _impossible,_ just that they translate to real-world concepts. The square root of -1 is pretty impossible, but mathematicians still use it because it's useful in complex calculations. That's why there's a differentiation between those so-called "complex" numbers (some of which are real, some of which aren't) and just plain "real" numbers. Those are separate _branches_ of mathematics, if that's what you meant. I'm not really sure.

[@Llortnerof]

​@@matrixphijr You're still working in the realm of physicists and engineers, not math. Math is an entirely abstract, logical construct completely detached from physical reality. Your physical constants are merely how these things are represented in mathematical terms. They weren't devised so math could be used on them. They are the result of using math to describe these things. Math holds true because it is entirely based on logical conclusions from a set of predefined axioms. Defining a math does not mean "changing math". It means creating a new math. The regular math you're used to still exists besides it. Math is essentially a language. Defining a new math is similar to creating a new dialect. What you're calling "seperate branches" is all first semester university math. By second year a math student will already have dealt with maths way more complex than that and may well have built a simple one themself. And, uh... impossible literally means "not possible". So if you're saying something is not physically possible, you're saying it is physically impossible.

[@matrixphijr]

@@Llortnerof It's no wonder you compare it to a language, since you're a master of twisting words. Look, I'm not having an argument about this. You realize you responded to a comment breaking down why 2 x 5 = 10 with a bunch of rambling nonsense about creating a new system of math where you can divide by zero? And frankly, my dude, there's a reason no one's done that already -- actually, two -- because it would have no bearing on reality and therefore no use whatsoever, and honestly, no one cares. To borrow your ideology, it would be like creating a language that no one speaks.

[@Llortnerof]

@@matrixphijr All you're showing here is that you have a very limited understanding of math. Everything you're claiming is pointless? Has already been done, often multiple times, and at least once simply to show that it can be done. Including creating new languages nobody speaks.

[@skullmastergamer]

Since the time of the ancient Greeks, the philosophical nature of infinity was the subject of many discussions among philosophers. In the 17th century, with the introduction of the infinity symbol[1] and the infinitesimal calculus, mathematicians began to work with infinite series and what some mathematicians (including l'Hôpital and Bernoulli)[2] regarded as infinitely small quantities, but infinity continued to be associated with endless processes.[3] As mathematicians struggled with the foundation of calculus, it remained unclear whether infinity could be considered as a number or magnitude and, if so, how this could be done.[1] At the end of the 19th century, Georg Cantor enlarged the mathematical study of infinity by studying infinite sets and infinite numbers, showing that they can be of various sizes.[1][4] For example, if a line is viewed as the set of all of its points, their infinite number (i.e., the cardinality of the line) is larger than the number of integers.[5] In this usage, infinity is a mathematical concept, and infinite mathematical objects can be studied, manipulated, and used just like any other mathematical object. The mathematical concept of infinity refines and extends the old philosophical concept, in particular by introducing infinitely many different sizes of infinite sets. Among the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, on which most of modern mathematics can be developed, is the axiom of infinity, which guarantees the existence of infinite sets.[1] The mathematical concept of infinity and the manipulation of infinite sets are used everywhere in mathematics, even in areas such as combinatorics that may seem to have nothing to do with them. For example, Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem implicitly relies on the existence of very large infinite sets[6] for solving a long-standing problem that is stated in terms of elementary arithmetic. Yes, I copied that off of Wikipedia

[@HatersForLosers]

In the world of math, many strange results are possible when we change the rules. But there’s one rule that most of us have been warned not to break: don't divide by zero. How can the simple combination of an everyday number and a basic operation cause such problems? Normallu, dividing bt smaller and smaller numbers gives you bigger and bigger answers. Ten divided by two is five, by one is ten, by one-millionth is 10 million, and so on. So it seems like if you divide by numbers that keep shrinking all the way down to zero, the answer will grow to the largest thing possible. Then, isn’t the answer to 10 divided by zero actually infinity? That may sound plausible. But all we really know is thar if we divide 10 by a number that tends towards zero, the answer tends towards infinity. And that’s not the same thing as saying that 10 divided by zero is equal to infinity. Why not? Well, let’s take a closer look at what divison really means. Ten divided by two could mean, “How many times must we add two together to make 10,”or, “two times what equals 10?”Dividing by a number is essentially the reverse of multiplying by it, in the following way: if we multiply number by a given number x, wen can ask if there’s a new number we can multiply by afterwards to get back to where we started. If there is, the new number is called the multiplicative inverse of x. For example, if you multiply three by two to get six, you can then multiply by ½ to get back to three. So the multiplicative inverse of two is ½, and the multiplicative inverse of 10 is ⅒. As you might notice, the product of any number and its multiplicative inverse is always one. If we want to divide by zero, we need to find its multiplicative inverse, which should be one over zero. This would have to be such a number that multiplying it by zero would give one. But because anything multiplied by zero is still zero, such a number is impossible, so zero no multiplicative inverse. Does that really settle things, though? After all, mathematicians have broken rules before. For example, for a long time, there was no such thing as taking the square root of negative numbers. But then mathematicians defined the square root of negative one as a new number called i which is a math symbol named imanginary number, opening up a whole new mathematical world of complex numbers. So if they can do that, couldn’t we just make up a new rule, say, that the symbol infinity means one over zero, and see what happens? Let's try it, imagining we don't know anything about infinity already. Based on the definition of a multiplicative inverse, zero times infinity must be equal to one. That means zero times infinity plus zero times infinity should equal two. Now, by the distributive property, the left side of the equation can be rearranged to zero plus zero times infinity. And since zero plus zero is definitely zero, that reduces down to zero times infinity. Unfortunately, we’ve already defined this as equal to one, while the other side of the equation is still telling us it’s equal to two. So 1 = 2. Oddly enough, that's not necessarily wrong; it's just not true in our normal world of numbers. There’s still a way it could by mathematically valid, if one, two, and every other number were equal to zero. But having infinity equal to zero is ultimately not all that useful to mathematicians, or anyone else. There actually is something the Riemann sphere that involves dividing by zero by a different method, but that’s a story for another day. In the meantime, dividing by zero in the most obvious way dosen’t work out so great. But that shouldn’t stop us from living dangerously and experimenting with breaking mathematical rules to see if we can invent fun, new worlds to explore.

That would mean just nothing, but what is nothing, there has to be an infinite amount of nothing, you can't just pick up a nothing and say here is a nothing. This fascinated me and I had so many little theories about dividing by zero, what zero is, square rooting 0, which led me to talk about infinity.

Yes, zero is a human invention, not a natural phenomena. In real world physics, everything affects everything at a distance. You are, for example, affected by the gravity of Pluto right now. It's just so small, and so far away (inverse square law!), that it's imperceptible to you. Zero doesn't mean "nothing". It means "less than measurable". Just like infinity means "more than measurable". Consider that no-one has ever actually proved anything to be infinite. Anyone who tried, died trying.

[@sutchsteve]

you have kind of described the natural numbers (the concept of numbers that you can count things in real life with, and there is disagreement over whether or not zero is a member of them. Also the idea of an infinite amount of nothing comes up when you generalise addition to a set instead of just two figures, so the sum of {1, 1} is 2, the sum of {1, 2, 3} is 6, and then you define the sum of {2} as 2, and the sum of {} (the empty set) as 0. This doesn't seem too weird but the corresponding definition of multiplication is that the product of {2, 3} is 6, the product of {2} is 2, and the product of {} is 1. The reasoning is that there is a kind of invisible sea of the identity value of the operator (that is the thing you can add or multiply by that will give you the same value, so n + 0 = n, and 1 * n = n, so the identity is 0 for addition and 1 for multiplication
