I’ve got a pad of paper and a pen right here, and I’m going to divide the next number I see by zero.
Yes. I’m doing math in pen. This is going to be so irreversible!
Look, we don’t want the space-time continuum blown to bits, so cool your jets, okay? :eek:
How about if you do something involving zero that’s not quite so destructive, like learn to count backwards to zero? 
Maybe we’ll get lucky the next number they see is zero.
That won’t help; 0 / 0 is just as undefined as 4 / 0 (albeit for a different reason).
We’re all doomed.
I like things divided by zero. It means I get to keep it ALL.
Cool avatar!
Sounds like me doing my taxes and trying to figure out how to pay in.
I don’t know why 0/0 is a problem. The algorithm is: Subtract divisor (0) from the dividend (0) as many times as you can until the remainder is zero or at least less than the divisor. Count how many times you subtracted, and that is the quotient.
Okay, let’s do 0/0: Subtract 0 from 0 once. The remainder is 0 so you’re done. You subtracted once, so the quotient is 1. It’s that simple.
Did The Great Sun Jester put you up to this?
God I hate new math.
Yeah, but it worked!
I finally worked up the nerve today, and I’ll be danged if six divided by zero isn’t “504 server error”
Not sure what to make of that. But since I failed to obliterate the universe this time around (I will try again sometime) I suppose I should just wish you all a very nice afternoon.
Oh, and, wash your hands frequently.
If you’re bored and want a little chuckle ask Siri what is 0/0.
This is like saying that the square root of 4 is 2 - it’s wrong by omission, since the square root of 4 is actually +/- 2. The obvious answer is wrong because it’s only one of multiple possible answers.
a/b=c when cb=a. So, solve c0=0 for c. That’s your answer. Which is to say, c = anything and everything. 10=0. 20=0. pi0=0. 420=0.
Which means that 0/0=1, 0/0=2, 0/0=pi, and 0/0=42.
Which of course means that 1 = 2 = pi = 42.
ETA: Oh, and your algorithm also doesn’t work with negative numbers. What’s 4 / -2?
Come on, you can’t divide by zero. That 's a law or something. What you do instead is multiply by 1/0.
Yes, we have 0/0=0 bananas today.
Zero bananas a day keeps the monkeys away.
Zero electrical bananas are safer.
Important safety tip: Don’t cross the streams.
It’s all about the limits, man.
The limit of 1/x as x goes to zero is kinda on the non-finite side.
But the limit of x/x as x goes to zero is not a problem. Similarly the limit of 0/x is not a problem. That they give different answers is an SEP*.
