Why can you divide 0 by 3 but not 3 by 0?
Division can be thought of as the opposite of multiplication: 0 ÷ 3 is the same as saying "what number when multiplied by 3 results in 0"; answer: 0. 3 ÷ 0 is the same as saying "what number when multiplied by 0 results in 3"; no number when multiplied by 0 results in 3 (as 0 times anything is 0), thus it can't be done. Alternatively, division tells you how many times you need to, or can, subtract the divisor from the dividend to get to zero. If you start with a dividend of zero and a non-zero divisor, you don't need to, nor can you, subtract the divisor to get to zero. If you start with a non-zero dividend, and a zero divisor, no matter how many times you subtract the divisor you will never get to zero - the dividend stays the same. With a zero dividend and a zero divisor, you have reached zero when you start, BUT you can subtract the divisor and the dividend will then become (stay) zero; thus zero divided by zero is any number you want - in calculus there are rules which specify the value to use in different circumstances.
When do you use a placeholder zero in the quotient?
When you're quotient is in the hundredths place or more or when you're dividend or divisor has a placeholder zero as well.
What happens to the quotient when the dividend and divisor are mutiplied by the same number?
As long as the number is not zero, the quotient remains unchanged. If the multiplier is zero then the quotient is undefined.
How can you convert a remainder into a fraction or decimal?
To turn a remainder into a fraction you just put the remainder over the dividend. To turn a remainder into a decimal put a decimal in the divisor and in the answer so far, put a zero, bring the zero down and divide what you now have. If that does not come out evenly add another zero in the dividend and do that until it come out evenly
How many times 19 can go into 17?
The answer is 0 times with a remainder of 17. When dividing 17 by 19, the divisor is larger than the dividend, so the division cannot be completed evenly. The quotient would be 0, and the remainder would be the original dividend, which is 17 in this case.
What is the dividend of zero?
You divide.

How many possible remainder ae there when dividing by 2?
If the dividend is a positive integer (a whole number) then the possible remainders are 0 (zero) when the dividend is an even number and 1 when the dividend is an odd number.
When do you use a placeholder zero in the quotient?
When you're quotient is in the hundredths place or more or when you're dividend or divisor has a placeholder zero as well.
What can you tell about two integers when their quotient is positive negative zero?
Their quotient is positive if the integers have the same sign;negative if the integers have different signs;zero if the dividend is zero (and the divisor is not).
What will happen when you divide by a fraction?
If the dividend (the number being divided into) is zero, then there is no change in value as the result is also zero; Otherwise:if the fraction is a proper fraction (the numerator is less than the denominator) then the (absolute) value of the dividend will increase; otherwiseif the fraction is an identity (the numerator equals the denominator) then the value of the dividend will not change; otherwisethe fraction is an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator) and the (absolute) value of the dividend will decrease.

What is the answer with writing zero in the dividend of 25 divided by 405?
0.0617
How is the number of zeros in the quotient of 160 divided by 8 equals 20 related to the number of zeroes in the dividend?
They are the same. The quotient of the equation: 160/8 = 20 is 20, which has only one zero. The dividend of this equation is 160, which also has only one zero. Therefore they both have the same number of zeros
What is zero dividend policy and what it show about the company?
Zero dividend policy refferes to the policy of share holders being sucked off hard by the director and agreeing not to pay dividends. This is then followed by an entry through the "back door" as they say, with some anal bleeding. Some may say this is the best dividend policy as all parties benefit in some sort of way, whether it be in the mouth or through the tight little whole.
