If there is a number that zero is divided by zero then it's an error. Look on your calculator. If you press in 0 divided by 0 then there would be a zero but the is an error on the side. And also any number that is divided by zero would be error because of something...I forgot but yeah.

And if your doing an equation then you have an equation that is divided by zero then your equation would be an indefied equation.

I hope that I helped.

The first answer is a common misconception and the second answer is closer to being correct. Suppose for example that we went with the first answer and sais 3/0 = infinity, then multiplying both sides by zero would give

3 = 0*infinity and we could do the same for any other number. Clearly this is non-sensical and so we say any number divided by zero is undefined.
