Not allowed!

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.

How do you change a fraction when the numerator is 0?

You can't change a fraction when the numerator is zero because no matter what the denominator is the fraction is still zero. A zero denominator is not allowed because you cannot divide by zero.


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)
