Dividing by zero always returns an undefined answer or error if using some calculators simply because a number as a basic rule must at least be as many as itself in a calculation to be divided by. for example 9 divided by 3, the answer is 3. This is because 9 can be broken down into 3 sets of 3. - Now if we tried to divide 0(zero) by 3 - we simply cannot as there is not enough "value" in the number 0(zero) to be broken into any more parts!
