If you multiply any number by zero the answer is zero
If you dividea number by zero the answer is undetermined. It is usually infinity , since when you divide a number ( numerator0 by a small the number (denominator) the smaller that denominator the larger the answer, and zero is so small that the answer is infinite.
But not always, as in special cases when the numerator is also zero

How do you multiply 1 times 3 over 4?
To multiply an integer by a fraction, multiply the integer by the numerator then divide by the denominator. (You can divide first, if the numbers cancel neatly.) As for the above... come on, that is asking what is (a value X 1)!
Do you believe you would come up with a false equality if you multiply or divide an equality by a negative number?
No. Multiplying or dividing by a negative number is perfectly valid. However, please note that:Dividing by zero will most likely give you wrong results.In the case of an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you have to reverse the sign. For example, 2 < 3; multiplying by -2: -4 > -6
How do you work out probability questions?
You divide (the number of ways the try can succeed) by (the total number of ways it can come out).
Can you divide any number by 73?
Yes, but it won't come out even unless the number is a multiple of 73.

What can you multiply to get the same answer when you multiply 18 times blank and then 27 times blank?
you multiply 27 times a number then you multiply 18 times a different number and see if they come out with the same answer.
What is one eighth of sixty four?
The answer is 8. Divide one into eight (1 / 8) and you come up with 0.125. You then multiply that number by 64 (0.125 x 64) to come up with 8. The above is the long way to do this calculation. Below is a simpler way of doing it. Take 64 and divide it by eight (64 / 8) to come up with eight.
What can you divide by 85 and come out with no remander?
An infinite number of multiples of 85.
How do you divide 3 by 1 digit numbers?
You can divide three by any number, but the result will not always come out even.
How come 9 is odd?
Simply because it doesn't divide by 2 exactly, and therefore cannot be even !
How do you convert a flow of 200 cubic meters per day to liters per second?
Ok. Here's how to come up with a formula. Multiply by 1000000 to get cubic centimeters. one cubic centimeter is one milliliter. There are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Divide by1000. These steps simplify to multiply by 1000. Divide by 24 to get hours, then by 3600 to get seconds. Multiply 200 times 1000, then divide by 24, then divide by 3600. You might want to check this with a math teacher.

Can bacteria multiply inside spores?
No, bacteria cannot multiple within a spore. They first have to come out when conditions are favorable, like when they are picked up by a host then get nutrient and multiply.
