Question

what is 1/0. Explain please.

Answer 1

So lets consider a real life situation. Lets say Mr.Mark is buying an apple. let it be a magic apple with infinite life(please assume as a one which does not decay). He wants to eat it for two days. So

1/0.5=2 days. He eats half an apple a day. If he wants to eat it for three days,

1/0.333=3 days. The amount of apple he gets to eat is reduced. Lets reduce it further.

1/0.1=10 days. Further more..

1/0.05=20 days. Save apple for even more no. of days..

1/0.0001=1000 days.

1/0.0000001=1000000 days. So,

1/0.00…..001=100……00 days. And it goes on. Which means

1/0=∞. So, literally we can 1/0=∞. But lets us consider these answers..

1/-0.5=-2(don’t ask me how there can be negative amount of apples, please)

1/-0.1=-10

1/-0.0001=-1000 and so

1/-0.00……001=-100……00. Which means,

1/-0=-∞

Answer 2

Hey mate ,
=========================☺️☺️
Here is your answer,
=========================☺️☺️

Its not infinity, its undefined..
There's difference between the two..
Consider 1/x ,where x is too much closer to 0 but not zero..
Say it's 10^-4 then 1/x=10^4..or say it's 10 power -24 then 1/x is whooping 10 power 24..
So as we go closer and closer to zero 1/x increases..
Now take 1/0..
Use your class 2 division method...divide 1 by 0 till we get 0 as remainder..
So first 0*1=0 so quotient =1 and remainder=1..then again 0*8=0 quotient=8 and remainder=1..and so on..
Now you 'll ask why started with 1 and then 8 why not 999 or 8712 or 246 or even -136..???
So what we are doing is absurd!!!
Got that.. it can be anything..Anything..only quotient(1/0) is your imagination...!!
Thus, it's undefined i.e. unimaginable..
Beauty of mathematics!!!

Hope that it will help you in your answer,
