  if it is simple maths.
  
  1x0= 0
  1/0= infinity
  0/1= 0

  word of advice to emaths takes for o lvl
  
  sometimes this kind of qn pops up in paper 1...a number / by 0 or a number x 0.....sometime i also confused

  divide by 0 will only appear in graphs. results usually is positive or negative inifinity....

  1 x 0 = 0
  
  0/1 = 0
  
  1/0 = error
  
  How can divide 1 by nothing? Just like you want to share your cake with nobody? Possible?

  anything multiplied by 0 is 0
  
  0 divide by anything also 0.
  
  nothing can divide by 0 - cannot be determined.

  anyone can explain the logic of 'something' divided by 0?

  Do you all know how the concept of zero originated? It seem a breakthrough we human grasped the concept of zero since ancient times. It is rumored that that knowledge is passed to earthlings by intelligent alien beings

  If you did it, tell us. I would also like to know.

  trying this.....1 divided by zero is something,like
  
  if there is no one on earth to witness time...then time goes for eternity

  1/0 is undefined, not infinity.
  
  although 1/0.000000000000000000000000000000001 tends to positive infinity, it does not necessarily and sufficiently implies that 1/0 also tends to positive infinity.
  
  1/X is a continuous function but it is discontinuous when X = 0, which we call it a singularity in physics and mathematics. everything breaks down at singularity. the most well known singularity existing in nature is the centre of a black hole, where time and space has no meaning.

  yes, but the infinity part is the best explaination given for ele maths students, as in the context which i replied. add maths students will understand what divide by 0 simplifies.
