Because zero is nothing. The figure zero isn't actually a number - it's a place-filler. Dividing anything by nothing will always result in the answer infinity.

What is zero divided by 3?

Any number (apart from 0) divided by 0 is equal to infinity.


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).


Is infinity divided by infinity equal 1?

Firstly we don't know infinity value. If you divide any number by infinity then answer will be zero. Example is divide 100/3 by infinity ( let infinity is equal to 1/0). Then answer is 100/3/1/0 you will get zero.


What does negative infinity divided by infinity squared equal?

42,100,876,9765,098.6 xx :) All real numbers, except zero and one.


Is zero divided by zero infinity?

No. Zero multiplied or divided by anything is zero.


What is 62380 divided by zero?

anything divided by zero is infinity.


What is infinity is divided by infinity?

1To touch on this whatever you take and divide by the same number will always give you one.2Infinity divided by infinity is not equal to 1, But it is undefined, not another infinity. This would help you:First, I am going to define this axiom (assumption) that infinity divided by infinity is equal to one:∞-∞= 1Since ∞ = ∞ + ∞, then we are going to substitute the first infinity in our axiom:∞ + ∞---∞= 1The next step is to split this fraction into two fractions:∞-∞+ ∞-∞= 1Next, substitute the axiom twice into the equation, we get:1 + 1 = 1Finally, this can be rewritten as:2 = 1Therefore, infinity divided by infinity is NOT equal to one. Instead we can get any real number to equal to one when we assume infinity divided by infinity is equal to one, so infinity divided by infinity is undefined.


Is 2 divided by zero infinity?

No. Zero multiplied or divided by anything is zero.

zero


What is the answer of 1 divided by infinity?

Firstly we don't know infinity value. If you divide any number by infinity then answer will be zero. Example is divide 100/3 by infinity ( let infinity is equal to 1/0). Then answer is 100/3/1/0 you will get zero.


If p divided by q form gives defined result where q not equals 0 then why something divided by infinity is zero?

Usually, it's here that we're talking about a limit. So, it's not that something divided by infinity (which is not actually a number) is equal to 0, it's that as the limit as n approaches infinity, you'll get zero. So, take lim (n approaches infinity) of 1/n. You could plug some immensely large number in for n (say, 1,000,000,000 - which is getting large but not as big as infinity). If you divide 1 by this number, you're gonna get something so small, you could call it zero. So, it's not that we're dividing by infinity, we're approaching infinity - so plug some huge numbers in and see that you get really really close to zero.


Any number divided by infinity?

Infinity is more a concept than a number. But the answer would be a number that is so infinitesimally small as to basically equal zero.
