Question

when a natural number is divided by 0 the quotient is ______​

Answer 1

Answer:

when a natural number is divided by zero, the quotient is not defined

Answer 2

When a natural number is divided by 0 the quotient is not defined.

Explanation:

• We know, when we divide 0 by any natural number, quotient comes out to be 0. But, when we divide any number by 0, it is always not defined.
• In ordinary mathematics, Such a division can be formally expressed as  ${\textstyle {\tfrac {a}{0}}}$ where $a$ is the dividend (numerator). This expression has no meaning, as there is no number which, when multiplied by 0, gives a (assuming ${\textstyle a\neq 0}$, and so division by zero is undefined.

Hence, When a natural number is divided by 0 the quotient is not defined.
