Zero is a unique number in that any number divided by zero is undefined. Therefore, when looking for equivalent fractions of zero, we must consider fractions that are also undefined. Examples of equivalent fractions of zero could include 0/1, 0/2, and 0/3, as they all represent the concept of zero divided by a non-zero number, resulting in an undefined value.
I think you probably mean fractions whose denominator is zero. This is because you can't divide by zero.
The denominator cannot be zero.
the difference between two equal fractions is zero.
It reduces to zero. That is the Zero Property of division/fractions.
Fractions are infinitely dense and this means that between any two fractions there an infinite number of fractions. If any fraction, f, laid claims to being the nearest, there would be infinitely many fractions between 0 and f and so infinitely many fractions which were closer to 0. This means that f could not be the closest. The argument can be used again and again and so there cannot be a fraction closest to 0.

The answer depends on "compared with what". The fraction 3/8 is close to zero compared to 7/8, but it is far from zero compared to 3/80.Fractions are infinitely dense and so, given anyfraction, there are infinitely many fractions between that fraction and zero. All of these will be closer to zero. And if you pick any one of these, there will be infinitely many between it and zero which will be closer still. And so it goes on.
It is close to 1/8.
Zero.
The fraction with the greatest denominator and the greatest difference between nominator and denominator (number above and below the dividing line) has the lowers absolute value (is closest to zero).
