Given a+b=c\n\n4(a+b-c)=3(a+b-c)is true only because a+b-c=0.\nIf a+b-c is not equal to zero, 4(a+b-c) is NOT equal to 3(a+b-c).\n\nCancellation of a+b-c on both sides means dividing both sides by a+b-c.\n\nas a+b-c=0, division is not allowed.\nCancellation is allowed only when a+b-c is not equal to 0.\n\n4/0 and 3/0 are not meaningful.\nAlso, 4/0 and 3/0 are not equal to infinity.\n4(a+b-c)=0 as a+b-c=0\n4(a+b-c)/(a+b-c) is 0/0 equal to infinity.\n\nPlease note that in the very definition of division, we say that division by zero is not defined.

It's undefined.  You can't divide any number by 0.

Any non-zero number divided by a limit approaching 0 WILL go to infinity:  n/(lim->0) is inifinity so n/0 is infinity.\nBut 0/0 is UNDEFINED.

0/0 is a discontinuity.\n\nIt is not specifically defined in the axioms of normal arithmetics. but, you can modify any set of axioms according to your own need, as long as they remain consistent and do not self contradict. U can define 0/0 to be 0, or u can define it to be 1 or 2 or 3... but before u proceed ahead, u have to make sure, by defining it as 1, your axioms do not self contradict. say,\n\n0/0=1\n\nwhat is (0/0) x0?\n\nif normal arithmetical rules apply... that (a/b)c=(ac)/b\n\n(0/0)x0=1x0=0\n(0x0)/0=0/0=1\n\nby setting 0/0=1, it contradict one of the rules, (a/b)c=(ac)/b, hence, in light of the original axioms, u cannot have 0/0=1.\n\nThe point is... as long as other rules r not broken, u can add definitions to mathematical objects to create a new object. U can still define 0/0=1, and change the (a/b)c=(ac)/b rule. u then have to make sure by removing this, other contradictions don't arise. Or u can set a rule saying, (a/b)c=(ac)/b applies except when (0/0)x0. again, u gotta check for contradictions. u can adjust everything until finally u have a new mathematical object that is wholly consistent with 0/0=1. Then, with this object, 0/0 is defined. Now, however, this new object would not behave like the ordinary number field we r familiar with.

Zero is not that intuitive and was ‘invented’ for at least two reasons (and not at the same time). It is a place holder like in 10 but we cam also say that 10 is X in which case we do not need a place holder. It other application it represents 'nothing'. What is nothing? cayou imagine 0 pencils? What color are they, what shape? If you think carefully it becomes an uncomfortable concept. It took zero to appear before mankind for quite sometime.

U cannot divide by zero\n4000+2000 is 6000 and definitely not zero.

We say that division by zero is undefined, for it is not consistent with division by other numbers.\n\nHere's a little experiment for you to try on your calculator. Observe the output when you try the following set of calculations:\n       1/1\n       1/.1\n       1/.01\n       1/.001\n       1/.0001\n       1/.00001\n       etc... \n\nuntil your calculator can't go any further or you get tired. You should notice that the answers continue getting larger and larger. \nAnother way of thinking of it is to imagine filling a box with apples. Say a box can hold 100 apples. Now try filling it with apples that are half the size of these apples. You can put 200 in the box. Now imagine a special, magic apple that takes up no room at all. How many can you put in the box?\n\nWell, the answer is... there is no answer! That is why mathematicians refer to numbers that are divided by 0 as "undefined." Some people tend to think of them as being infinite, but this isn't exactly true. There simply is no answer.

I do not think you can.\nSo Bhaskara tried to solve the problem by writing n/0 = ∞. At first sight we might be tempted to believe that Bhaskara has it correct, but of course he does not. If this were true then 0 times ∞ must be equal to every number n, so all numbers are equal. The Indian mathematicians could not bring themselves to the point of admitting that one could not divide by zero. Bhaskara did correctly state other properties of zero, however, such as 02 = 0, and √0 = 0.

"Look up the word 'divide'. You cannot divide something by either 0 or 1, ever."\n\nHow about you try a MATHEMATICAL definition of divide.  In math, division by n is defined as multiplication by the inverse of n (usually denoted n^-1 but I'll call it 1/n due to the lack of superscripts).  You are absolutely right that you can't divide by zero.  However, it has nothing to do with splitting into parts.  The multiplicative inverse of n is defined as the number 1/n such that n*(1/n) = 1.  It is a property of 0 that anything times 0 equals 0, therefore the multiplicative inverse of n canot exist.  Thus it is impossible to divide by 0.\n\nDividing by 1, however, is a perfectly legitimate mathematical operation although it tends to be unproductive.  Because 1x1=1, the multiplicative inverse of 1 is 1.  From the definitions above, division by 1 is the same as multiplication by 1, which is most certainly an acceptable mathematical opperation.

The zero is a powerful persuasive number that recruits all other numbersinto its evil zero army.  Not even the mighty Infinity can salvage ones who have been converted to the zero side, but numbers converted to infinity can turn into zeros.  Do not underestimate the power of the number zero-or it will turn you into one, too.

err unless i'm misreading the question, then the answer is undefined.  the denominator is 0^3 which is 0.  you can't divide by 0.

To quote dilbert: "Early Civilisations never had a concept of zero" (hey, you wanted it thorough right?) And they started the number system at one. .... Hmm, pretty much the panel cuts out... \nRemember, the ones and zeros are really the positive and negative polaritys on a magnetic disk. That is the key to your computer informations. Do not take a magnet to your computer.

No, because it doesn't.\nThere's a number of "proofs" out there that rely on dividing by 0, even when it's not obvious that's what's going on.\nDivide by zero, and you can prove anything!

Are we counting the number of times the digit zero appears?  For example, would 1,000,000 result in 6 zeroes?  If so, you can count the zeroes as follows:\n\nFirst, count the numbers of the form nnnnnn0... 10, 20, 30, ..., 100, 110, 120, ..., 999990, 1000000.  Every 10th number will have this form, so that is 100,000 zeroes in the units place (don't count zero, but do count 1 million).\n\n1,000,000 * 1/10 = 100,000\n100,000 - 1 + 1 = 100,000\n\nNext, count nnnnn0n... 100, 101, 102, 103...  109, 200, 201, 202, ... 209, .... 999900, 999901, 999902, ..., 999,999, 1,000,000.  This would be 10 out of every hundred numbers, so that is 99,991 zeroes in the tens place.  (You don't count 0 to 9), but you do count 1 million.\n\n1,000,000 * 10/100 = 100,000\n100,000 - 10 + 1 = 99,991\n\nNext, count nnnn0nn.  This would be 100 out of every thousand numbers, but not counting 0 to 99, but counting 1 million.  So that is 99,901.\n\n1,000,000 * 100/1000 = 100,000\n100,000 - 100 + 1 = 99,901\n\nNext, count nnn0nnn.  This would be 1000 out of every ten thousand numbers, but not counting 0 to 999, but counting 1 million.  So that is 99,001.\n\n1,000,000 * 1000/10000 = 100,000\n100,000 - 1,000 + 1 = 99,001\n\nNext, count nn0nnnn.  This would be 10000 out of every hundred thousand numbers, but not counting 0 to 9999, but counting 1 million.  So that is 90,001.\n\n1,000,000 * 10000/100000 = 100,000\n100,000 - 10,000 + 1 = 90,001\n\nFinally, count n0nnnnn.  Without a leading digit, none of the numbers except 1 million would have this pattern:\n\n1,000,000 * 100000/1000000 = 100,000\n100,000 - 100,000 + 1 = 1\n\n100,000 + 99,991 + 99,901 + 99,001 + 90,001 + 1 = 488,895\nSo the answer is that the digit zero appears 488,895 times in the numbers from 1 to 1 million, inclusive.

You can't divide anything by zero, so the answer mathematicians give is that 1/0 is "undefined". \n\nIt is very tempting to think that 1/0 = infinity but there is a consequence...\n\nIf 1/0 = infinity, and 0 times infinity = 1, then what is 2/0? Infinity? \n\nIf we say "yes", then we have to say that 0 times infinity = 1 AND also = 2 (and by implication also 3, 4, 5...). \n\nBut remember that anything times 0 is 0. It only takes the simplest of arithmetic to imagine an empty apple box, and to say "you can ask me for as many as you like - even infinity - but I can only give you zero apples"
