How come you cannot divide a number by zero but you can multiply a number by zero?
If you multiply any number by zero the answer is zero If you dividea number by zero the answer is undetermined. It is usually infinity , since when you divide a number ( numerator0 by a small the number (denominator) the smaller that denominator the larger the answer, and zero is so small that the answer is infinite. But not always, as in special cases when the numerator is also zero
How come zero divided by zero in not defined?
Any number divided by zero is undefined. This is true it is because you cannot divide something into zero groups (but you can put zero into an existing amount of groups, which is why zero can legally be divided by other numbers).
What number is before zero?
The number before zero is negative one (-1). In the number line, negative numbers come before zero, with each number getting smaller as you move to the left. Therefore, the number that comes immediately before zero is negative one.
Where did zero come from?
the actual number zero (0) was first used in India circa the 9th century BCE. The concept of zero was known earlier (arguably as far back as the Babylonians), but it was not used in calculations and not treated as a true number.
Which number when added to a number gives a sum equal to a number?
zero + zero = zero
