Division by infinity is not used in ordinary mathematics.
Think about infinity as a number with tons of zeroes on it. So a small number divided by a number that just keeps getting bigger will get closer and closer to zero, but will never get there.
Although we can state that for any number a,
a/ ∞ = 0 and a/(- ∞) = 0
this is not an actual value of zero, but is a limiting value for a number that approaches ∞ . You can see that the reverse multiplication operation,
∞ x 0 = a
is only true in the single case where a = 0.

Does any real number divided by zero result infinity?
You can't divide by zero. But if you take any real number and try dividing it by smaller and smaller numbers that are closer and closer to zero, your result will get closer and closer to infinity.
Is infinity divided by infinity 1?
Infinity is not a defined number. It describes, in math, the endlessness of numbers.
How something divided by zero equal to infinity?
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 the answer of infinity divided by infinity?
1 one infinity divided by infinity
If the square root of a rational number X was divided by another rational number Y and the result would be undefined what could be the possible values of X and Y?
probably x would be negative. This is because the square root of a negative number is not a real number (no real number squared can be negative). ory is 0. any number divided by 0 = infinity. and undefined is another way of saying 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).
What is infinity divided by two?
infinity divided by any finite number is also infinity.
What is 19 divided by 0?
Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
Does any real number divided by zero result infinity?
You can't divide by zero. But if you take any real number and try dividing it by smaller and smaller numbers that are closer and closer to zero, your result will get closer and closer to infinity.
Is infinity divided by infinity 1?
Infinity is not a defined number. It describes, in math, the endlessness of numbers.
What can 335 be divided by?
To give a positive and whole number result, 335 can be divided by:1, 5, 67 and 335. These are known as the factorsof 335.However, if you do not need a positive and whole number result then you can divide 335 by any number whatsoever (excluding 0 and infinity).
What are the number divided by 7?
infinity of numbers.
What is a negative number divided by zero?
infinity i

What is the answer of infinity divided by infinity?
1 one infinity divided by infinity
What is the result of one divided by infinity?
Defined to be zero -- another answer -- It is another "Infinity" - the infinitely small 1 can be subdivided by any number and it produces the inverse of that number. So, as infinity is uncountably large, one over infinity is uncountably small and is itself infinity. 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1 1 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000001 1 ÷ 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.000000000001 and so on down to 1 ÷ ∞ = 0.∞
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.
