If you understand what it is used for, you'll understand why it is important. "Infinity" is used with somewhat different meanings in different context. For example:

  • In calculus, it means that the value of a variable or function grows without bounds, i.e., there is no limit to how high it can be. In this case, "infinity" is not properly a number; it is more like a tendency.
  • In set theory, "infinity" refers to the size of sets - for example, the set of integers, or the set of real numbers. It turns out that in this case, there are different infinity, i.e., some are larger than others.

Is infinity divided by infinity equal to infinity?

First off, infinity is not a number in conventional mathematics. In Calculus, you can work with infinity through the language of limits. It is important to note that when we use the shorthand: ∞/∞ What we are REALLY saying is "the limit of a function which diverges to infinity divided by the limit of a function which diverges to infinity". We are not actually saying "infinity divided by infinity". Now that THAT is out of the way, we can get to the answer. ∞/∞ is of indeterminate form, meaning that the division could converge to 0, it could converge to 1, it could converge to an arbitrary constant, or it could diverge to infinity. In order to figure out which of these cases is true, you need to apply L'Hospital's rule, by taking the derivative of the numerator and the denominator (separately).

What is infinity divided by 5?

Infinity divided by any finite number is infinity. Here are the rules: 1. Infinity divided by a finite number is infinite (I / f = I); 2. Any finite number divided by infinity is a number infinitesimally larger than, but never equal to, zero (f / I = 1 / I); 3. Infinity divided by infinity is one (I / I = 1), or in fact any other positive number (I / I = and so on...); 4. Infinity multiplied by zero (no infinity) is zero (I * 0 = 0); 5. Infinity divided by a positive finite number is infinity (I / +f = I); 6. Infinity divided by a negative finite number is minus infinity (I / -f = -I); 7. Infinity divided by zero is not possible; 8. Infinity plus infinity is infinity (I + I = I); 9. Zero divided by infinity (nothing divided into infinity) equals zero (0 / I = 0); 10. Infinity plus a finite number is infinity (I + f = I); 11. Infinity minus a finite number is infinity (I - f = I); but 12. Infinity minus infinity, due to the nature of infinity, can be zero, infinity, or minus infinity (I - I = -I, 0, I).
