0 divided by 0

Correct Answer: Indeterminate

Explanation:

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.


Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.


Explanation::


      • Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0


0 / 2 = 0


…………


………..


we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0


      • Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = + or -


2 /0 = + or -


………


.…….


we can say 0 / 0 = 


      • Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1


2/2 = 1


.……..


………..


we can say, 0/0 = 1


Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.


So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
