What is zero divided by zero?

There's no answer actualy. O cannot be divided by 0. \nThe answer infinity is just an assumption when \nnumber really near to 0 divided by another number near to 0.\n\nSuch as 0.0000000000000000001 / 0.0000001\nAlthough the example doesn't really show number near to 0, but if you change to 0.00000000000000000....01, you will see the same result

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.

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.

Do you mean "zero of a polynomial?" If so, then read on...\n\nA zero of a polynomial is the value or values of the variable (usually x) that cause the polynomial to equal zero.\n\nExample 1: The zero of the monomial 3*x is 0 because 3*0 is zero.\n\nExample 2: The binomial x + 2 has it's zero at x = -2 because if you substitute -2 in place of x, then you get \n---> -2 + 2 = 0.\nTherefore, -2 is the zero of the given binomial.\n\nExample 3: Find the zeros of the trinomial x^2 - x - 6. That is, solve x^2 - x - 6 = 0. If you factor the trinomial, then you get \n---> (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0. \nIn this problem there are two possibilities. Either \n---> x + 2 = 0  or  x - 3 = 0. \nSolving each gives x = -2 or x = 3. Therefore, the zeros of the given trinomial are -2 and 3. \n\nIf you substitute -2 into the given trinomial, then you have the following:\nx^2 - x - 6 \n= (-2)^2 - (-2) - 6 \n= 4 + 2 - 6\n= 6 - 6\n= 0 \n\nIf you substitute 3 into the given trinomial, then you have the following:\nx^2 - x - 6 \n= (3)^2 - (3) - 6 \n= 9 - 3 - 6\n= 6 - 6\n= 0 \n\nThere are no other values of x that will cause our given trinomial to equal zero.\n\nDefinitions\nA monomial is a polynomial with one term.\nA binomial is a polynomial with two terms.\nA trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.\nA polynomial with more than three terms is just called a polynomial.\n\nNote: If you graph a polynomial, then the graph will touch or cross the x-axis at the zeros of the polynomial. Zeros of a polynomial are also called solutions, roots, and, in some cases, x-intercepts.

Yes, zero is a number with a special property x + zero = x.\n\nIn most numeral systems, there is no zero symbol.\n\n0 is a digit who's name is zero.\n\n0 is not 'nothing'.  It is a number that can represent the cardanality of an empty set.\n\nThe greek capitol letter Phi (a circle with an up down line through it) is used to represent the 'empty set' or the set with nothing in it.

zero(0) has a value when there is another number to its left.

When you divide by (m-n) since m=n you are dividing by zero, which is not right!

I'll take a guess and say zero, since if a*b = 0, then either a is zero or b is zero.

The trivial zeros are at (-2K+0i), where K is a positive integer. The nontrivial zeros are all the others. It has been shown that the nontrivial zeroes must have a real part between 0 and 1.

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"

This is not simply a quirk of our usual number system: in any number system that satisfies certain basic properties such as distributivity and associativity, 0 multiplied by anything will give 0. So if you start with any non-zero number x, there cannot be any number which when multiplied by 0 gives you x, so there can be no answer to the question "what is x divided by 0". Mathematicians say that "division by 0 is undefined", meaning there is no way to define an answer to the question in any reasonable or consistent manner.

zero, that number which, when added to any number, leaves the latter unchanged; its symbol is 0. The introduction of zero into the decimal system was the most significant achievement in the development of a number system in which calculation with large numbers was feasible. Without it, modern astronomy, physics, and chemistry would have been unthinkable as we know them. The lack of such a symbol was one of the serious drawbacks of Greek mathematics. Its existence in the West is probably due to the Arabs, who, having obtained it from the Hindus, passed it on to European mathematicians in the latter part of the Middle Ages. The Maya of Central America and probably the Babylonians also invented zero. With the extension of the number system to negative as well as positive numbers, zero became the name for that position on the scale of integers between −1 and +1. It is used in this sense in speaking of zero degrees on the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales; “absolute zero” is a term used by physicists and chemists to indicate the theoretically lowest possible temperature—a use reminiscent of zero as a symbol for nothing. Unlike other numbers, zero has certain special properties in connection with the four fundamental operations. By definition zero added to or subtracted from any number leaves the number unchanged. Any number multiplied by zero gives zero. Zero multiplied by or divided by any number (other than zero) is still zero. But division by zero is undefined; i.e., there is no number that is the value of a number divided by zero.

something close to zero

You can't divide by 0, you can divide anything by 1, you can divide any even number by 2 to get a whole number,...etc. This website has more divisibility rules: \nhttp://mathforum.org/k12/mathtips/division.tips.html

One way to understand this is to think through the meaning of a divided by b. It is a number such that when you multiply by b, you get a. \n\nThus 1 divided by 0 is undefined, because there is no number such that when you multiply it by 0, you get 1.\n\nIn the same way 0/1 is equal to 0, as 1 times 0 is 0.

uhm, ZERO!  0x2=0  what, did you fail basic math?

first line is "a=b", therefore a-b = 0\nso when it says "divide both sides by a-b", it really means "divide both sides by 0, which results in some probably invalid, and definitely not finite, values on each side"
