It not only makes no sense, the rules of division don't permit it.

What does 13 over 0 equal?

It doesn't make sense to divide by zero.


Why is 20 to the power of 0 is equal to 1?

Look at the powers of any number, but as you'd asked, let's use 20: . . 20^1 = 20 20^2 = 400 20^3 = 8,000 20^4 = 160,000 20^5 = 3,200,000 ....and so on. . To get from 20^5 to 20^4 we have to divide by 8. 3,200,000 divided by 20 is 160,000. (or 20^4) And to get from 20^4 to 20^3 we have to divide by 8 again. 160,000 divided by 20 is 8,000 (or 20^3) The logical idea is to continue doing this. To go from 20^3 to 20^2 we should divide 20 again. 8,000 divided by 20 is 400. (or 20^2) To go from 20^2 to 20^1 we should divide 20 yet again. 400 divided by 20 is (you guessed it) 20. (or 20^1) Now for the ever important one. We will continue the same formula. To get from 20^1 to 20^0, we should divide again by 20. 20 divided by 20 is.......drumroll please.......1!!!! So 20^0 = 20^1 / 20 = 20/20 = 1. This works for any nonzero number. 0^0 is undefined!!! . I know it's confusing, but it does make sense (in theory lol) Hope I helped!!!!


How do you divide 47 and 5?

9.4......9.45 | 47.0...-45=====......20.....-20=====........0


Insert bracket minus times and divide signs to make this correct 1 3 0 3 2 0 1 0 equals 37?

(13 x 03) - (20/10)


Is 0 divided by 0 1?

No Its 0Nope, you can't divide 0 by anything because you can't divide "nothing" by something. You'd still end up with nothing. Like dividing an apple that you don't have - you can't divide it as you don't have an apple. If that makes sense..?
