Consider the equation 0 times x = 0.
This is true for every number x.
Divide both sides by 0; we get x = 0/0.
So zero divided by zero could be any number at all; it could be -42, or 273.15, or anything else.
If we try to pick one value for 0/0, we will eventually get into trouble.
Examples:
Say 0/0 = 1 = 1/1.
Multiply the numerator of both sides by 3. Then
(3 times 0)/0 = (3 times 1)/1.
Therefore 0/0 = 3.
Since 0/0 = 1, we get 1 = 3, which we really don't want, as all of our mathematics will become useless.
Say 0/0 = 0.
Then 0/0 = 0/1.
Turn both fractions upside down. We get
0/0 = 1/0, but since 0/0 = 0, we get
0 = 1/0.
Multiplying both sides by 0 gives
0 times 0 = 1,
so 0 = 1, which we don't want either.
The best thing to do is not to give 0/0 any value; we say 0/0 is undefined. Also we take x/0 to be undefined for every number x.

What is zero divided by one?
One divided by zero is an undefined operation, which leads to contradictions and nonsense.For this reason, division by zero is forbidden in arithmetic.
Is a non zero integer divided by its opposite always equal to negative one?
yes
What does negative one divided by zero equal?
A dur negative 1 ,0 does nothing when dividing
Why is binary numbering system commonly used in digital electronics?
Zero and one - either on or off.
Are zero and one composite or prime?
A prime number is one that has only 2 factors, itself and one. A composite number is one that can be written as the product of two numbers that are not itself. By these definitions, 1 and 0 fail to be either composite or prime. 1 can only be divided by one, so it does not have the 2 necessary factors to be prime or the multiple required to be composite. 0 on the other hand can be divided evenly by every number, but no two numbers that are not 0 can be multiplied to get a product of 0.
