You can't divide something by 0 because if you multiply anything by 0 you get 0.
So if you divide anything other then 0 by 0 there will be no solution because anything multiplied by 0 is 0.
And in case 0 divided by 0 any solution will suffice. That's why it's undefined.

For instance you can't multiply anything by 0 and get 4. That's why you can't divide 4 by 0.

You didn't read my post, apparently. [Image: coffeedrinker.gif]
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
