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.

How can you divide 180 and 3?
To divide 180 by 3: ask your self what is 18 divided by 3 (how many groups of 3 in 18) . The answer is 6 ( 6x3 = 18). So 6 is the first number in your answer. now ask yourself what is 0 divided by . The answer is 0. So 0 is the second number in your answer. 180 divided by 3 = 60

Is 2 divide by 0 is equal to 0 divide by 2?
No; they are not equal.
Why can't we divide by 0?
Because whatever you try to divide by 0 the answer is always going to be infinite -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- because when we divide we are actually saying "how many of this number can we fit into this one?" ie. 9 divided by 3 means how many groups of three anre there in 9? which is, 3. ### ### ### =######### 3 3 3 =9 then try to divide 9 by 0.3. You'll find 30 And 9/0.03=300 And 9/0.003=3000 And 9/0.00000000003 =300000000000 The smallest is the number you are dividing for, the highest will be the answer. So a number (any number) divided by 0 "tends" to infinite.

Why you can divide 0 by 3 but not 3 by 0?
3*0 = 0 Dividing both sides by 3 gives 0 = 0/3 and therefore 0/3 is defined and is equal to 0. However, there is no number, k, such that k*0 = 3 and so division by 0 is not defined. If there were such a number k, then you could divide both sides by k to give 0 = 3/k. But there is no such k.
What is 3 divided by 0 as a percentage?

What remainders can you get when you divide by 3?
2, 1 or 0.
What is 0 over 1 divide by 3?
Anything with a zero in the numerator will be equal to 0. If your problem is 0/1/3, then it's 0.
Why can divide 0 by 3 but not 3 by 0?
The operation, division, is not symmetric. There is a number, x, such that x*3 = 0. In fact x is also 0. But there is no number, y, such that y*0 = 3.
