Actually 0/0 is undefined because there is no logical way to define it. In ordinary mathematics, you cannot divide by zero.
The limit of x/x as x approaches 0 exists and equals 1 so you might be tempted to define 0/0 to be 1.
However, the limit of x2/x as x approaches 0 is 0, and the limit of x/x2 as x approaches 0 does not exist .
r/0 where r is not 0 is also undefined. It is certainly misleading, if not incorrect to say that r/0 = infinity.
If r > 0 then the limit of r/x as x approaches 0 from the right is plus infinity which means the expression increases without bounds. However, the limit as x approaches 0 from the left is minus infinity.

Does zero divided by twelve equal twelve?
No matter what, zero divided by anything is always going to be zero. If a number is divided by zero, it does not exist because nothing can be divided by zero.
Why zero divided by zero equals to two?
This question has already been answered. Zero divided by zero is zero itself. It is NOT equal to two.
Why does 0 divided by 2 equal -9?
It doesn't zero divided by any number other than zero is zero.
What is a non zero number divided by itself?
Any non-zero number divided by itself is equal to one.
What causes numerator of a expression to equal zero?
When the numerator of any expression or fraction is zero then the result is zero because zero divided by any number is always equal to zero.
