Question

Why is division by zero not allowed? Explain using your knowledge of how division is related to subtraction. I just want a good explanation.

Answer 1

coz if any number when divided by zero its resultant is zero...

also it does not follow the division algorithm..

let me tell an example-

when 5 is divided by 0

the answer is 0

a/c to division algorithm..

dividend = quotient * divisor + remailder

but it does not follow this rule..


5 is not equal to - 5*0 +0

hope helped..

Answer 2

i want to share my knowledge with you ,

division means distribution to many equally . for example there are 10 chocolates each needs 2 chocolates  for how many children the chocolates with be sufficient ? 

if there are no members how would you distribute . from this we can say division is not  possible with 0 .

when we do subraction the number will decrease and even when we do division the number gets decreased . so we can say subraction is related to division

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU........
