Best Answer

You cannt multiply by infinity in ordinary mathematics, because it is an undefined value.

However, for any other value, the result is zero. The intersection of a null (empty) set with other sets cannot exist, and in mathematics any value a x 0 = 0.

e.g. Zero times anything (even negative values) is always zero.

Infinity is undefined as a number, thus the definition of infinite.

However, as a concept, of an undefinable number, infinity is infinite, unending.

Infinity is not rational and keeps going on forever, therefore infinity cannot be multiplied by zero.

Multiplying infinity by other rational numbers is impossible in ordinary math, because the result cannot exceed infinity.

Any number over 0=∞. Frankly speaking, the answer is whatever the numerator was, or in algebra, n/0 x 0=n. The answer is undefined.

What is the value of zero times infinity?

Zero times infinity is defined as "indeterminate".


Why is zero times infinity undefined?

Because zero multiplied by any number is always zero, but anything multiplied by infinity is infinity. Zero times infinity is being pulled both ways. Also, the definition of infinity is any number x divided by 0. When you multiply zero by infinity, the zeroes "cancel out", leaving absolutely nothing behind.

What does infinity times infinity equal?

infinity2 Well, your question does not specify whether the infinities are "countable" infinities (such as the number of integers) or "uncountable" infinities (such as the number of real numbers). If both multiplicands are countable infinities, the product is also countable infinity. If either multiplicand is uncountable, the product is uncountable infinity. Countable infinity is known as "Aleph null", and uncountable infinity as "Aleph one". Infinity times zero may possibly be equivalent to zero though ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ∞ x ∞ = ∞ infinity times infinity equals to infinity Infinity is already the highest number. Technically speaking, there is no highest number. So infinity infinity's is infinity cause infinity is never ending.
