what is the reciprocal of 0?

well you have to understand that a reciprocal of any number is the number that when multiplied gives 1.

ex. reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 because 2x1/2 is 1

now understanding that what number can we multiply 0 by to get 1

0x1 nope

0x8 nope

0x10000000000000000000000000000000 nope

but what if we consider infinity?

infinity isn't big it isn't small it is the endlessness of numbers.

and zero is the midway point of the numbers.

skipping all of the theory we can understand that the recipricol of 0 is infinity.

This is a common perception of the reciprocal of zero. Another common answer, more commonly believed, is that 0's reciprocal is undefined.
