MATHS AHEAD:
Division by zero is impossible because if you moltiply A * B, and get C, you can get back A or B
by doing C/B or C/A, but if A * 0, you can't retrieve back A by doing C/0.
Zero spreads like a weegee, if not worse :(

your argument is faulty in that its logic is circular, and it is therefore invalid.
besides, division by zero is not impossible; it's not defined, dumbass.

actually, zero divided by zero is undefined, as it can have any possible result (it falls under
both [0 / X = 0] and [X / X = 1])
zero divided by anything else is impossible within real numbers

0/0 is not undefined, it's "undetermined"
also, some would argue that 1/0 = infinity

the fact is, that if 1/0=X, then, by defnition, X*0=1. There is no value of X for which this is
true. X is undefined (not undetermined you fucking moron).

Think of dividing by zero similarly to a negative radical, it needs its own definition,
sqrt(-4)=4i [an imaginary number], 4/0=4z [a zeroed number]. Another way to think of it is that
all numbers are in groups, 4=(IIII); 4/2=(II),(II);4/4=(I),(I),(I),(I); 4/0=IIII. It is
undefined, because we have not assigned a definition to it yet.

Hey guys, how do I save flash from a website?
No not here, I want to save a flash banner from another site, how would I do that?
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/29(Wed)16:22 No. 3059
Suppose you define an element X such that X*0=0*X=1
Then,
X=X
0+X=X
X*0 + X*X = X*X
X*0 = X*X -(X*X)
X*0 = 0
so X*0 = 0 and 1, a contradiction.
Not that this makes no reference to being in any particular number system, in fact, I only used
the properties of Rings. So it holds for any Ring or Field that the additive identity has no
multiplicative identity, and it is impossible to consistently define one.
Also, 1/0 is not infinity. It is only referred to this way in a limiting sense, that is Lim (1/X)
as X tends toward 0 is +/- infinity. But, infinity is not part of the real numbers. The extended
real line is not a field or ring, and is not well behaved as an algebraic structure, and is only
really useful for it's topological properties

Clarifying my earlier point, 4/0=IIII, is like removing the grouping,which removes any way of
identifying it; which is a value which we have not defined. It does not equal 1, or 0, or
infinity, it is a type of number that is very hard to comprehend.
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/30(Thu)18:01 No. 3096
Let's think of things this way:
You have 10 apples and 5 friends, you want to give each friend an equal amount of apples, so each
friend gets two. Written out this would be 10/5=2. So lets say you have 10 apples and no friends
(which is not a rare case on this image board), each friend gets 0 apples, because the friends do
not exist, therefore the apples have no where to go. So the answer is simply undefined, null set,
not possible or what have you. This topic cannot be put into any real or imaginary number
category.
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/30(Thu)18:41 No. 3098
It is not in a category with imaginary numbers, we need to create a definition for it, just like
they did for imaginarys. We need to make a new category for it.

I just read some of these comments. You all are thinking way too hard. You cannot divide by zero
because you can't put things into zero parts. See what I'm saying?
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/30(Thu)20:17 No. 3102
You cannot to define X/0 as imaginary, real or anything else, it is just null because there is no
definition for X/0. No numbers can go into it. It is just not possible to do. It is the same way
with IxI=-y ("I"s representing absolute value.) Since you cannot have negative absolute value
because it goes against the definition of absolute value. Same way with X/0 you cannot divide
something without something to divide into, therefore it goes against the definition of division
and cannot be. So it is "Undefined" because it doesn't fit into the definition of division.
>>3059
X*0=0*X=1
It should be X*0=0*X=0
to substitute a number in for X lets make X=2
2*0=0
0*2=0
0=0
not 1=0
So there is no contraction and at no point does
X*0=1
X/0 cannot have an answer because it is not part of mathematics. "athatjhlasjethlaksjdt" (Just me
hitting random keys on the keyboard) is as much mathematics as X/0.
square root(-x) is a part of mathematics because it is part of the definition. I just cannot be
physically done in real life. So you just end up with (x)i
You guys get it now?

Exactly my point, it is not part of mathematics, because we have not made it part yet. Imaginary
numbers were not part of math, until we made them their own part. We need to make numbers divided
by zero a part of math, because right now, we have not given them a definition, hence the word
"Undefined".
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/30(Thu)22:16 No. 3109
Before they made imaginary numbers, sqrt(-1) was undefined. We need to define numbers divided by
zero, I chose the term, "zeroed" in an earlier post.

"Overanalyse memes"? Division by zero isn't a meme, it's a legitimate mathematical problem that
predates the internet itself and is of great relevance to society. You're the one who should "get
a life", or at least spend considerably more time off 7chan - for the good of all of us.
