The operation "divide by zero" is not defined.
However, in the limit, as the denominator of a fraction approches zero, the quotient approached infinity. In other words, the result gets larger and larger the closer the denominator gets to zero.

Another thing to consider is the recipical of Y=2/X. YX=2 is an equivative of Y=X\2. But you know that any number multiplied by 0 is 0. If X is 0 in the equation the two variables could not equal 2.

What is a demominator?
the botton nmber of a fraction
When the numerator is the same as the denominator what happens?
The fraction reduces to 1 - UNLESS they are both zero, in which case the fraction is undefined.
Can zero be put into a fraction?
Zero can be neither the numerator nor the denominator of a fraction.
What happens when the numerator is zero?
Then the answer is straightforward - 0 When a numerator is zero it means that the value of the fraction is also 0. For example: there are 0/4 pieces of pie The numerator is 0 (the top number) The denominator is 4 (the bottom number) The value of the fraction is 0 because the numerator is zero (there are no pieces of pie)
A fraction with a zero in the numerator equals what?
zero.
