Dear Friend,
Kindly mark the answer as brainliest if you find it useful.
Here's what you were looking for:
To understand why zero by zero is impossible, we must first know what Division really is.
Division is nothing but "repeated subtraction".
Let me give you an example
When we say 6/2 we mean to say that " How many times can I subtract 2 from 6 untill nothing remains or the least positive whole number remains".
So,
6/2=6-2-2-2 which is 3 times 2.
Therefore 6/2=3
So, when zero is divided by any number the result is zero since you can't subtract anything further from zero as it is the smallest whole number.
Therefore Zero/Anything = 0
And when any number is divided by zero then you can subtract infinite number of zeroes from it, so the answer is practically infinite or Not Defined.
Therefore Anything/Zero = Infinite or Not Defined
Now coming to zero/zero, you can understand it by this way like the upper zero (zero in numerator) is saying that you put anything in the denominator I will make it zero, whereas the lower zero (zero in denominator) is saying that you put anything in the numerator I will make it infinite or Not Defined.
Since their is a conflict therefore zero by zero is impossible.
Hope this clears your doubt.✌️
