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.
