When you divide by 1/2, it's like multiplying by 2. You divide by 0.625, you multiply by 1.6.
I figured that dividing by zero gets infinity.
But what happens if you divide by infinity? You get zero!
If you divide infinity by anything other than infinity, the answer will stay infinity!
If you divide zero by anything other than zero, your answer will stay zero.
Quite strange; usually, when you divide a number by itself, you get one. But if you do it to zero, you get infinity. If you divide infinity by infinity, you get zero!
Zero is not the only strange number here... infinity is strange too!
So yeah, you can safely divide numbers by zero and infinity.
Conclusion?X divided by zero equals infinity!
update: now I'm not sure about dividing infinity by itself being zero anymore, I would agree with more like one. Because you're dividing infinity by infinity, the exact same number. I figured dividing by zero gets one. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
if you still successfully dividing by zero will result in black holes or destruction of the universe, how come you're reading this? How come I managed to post this?
but then... zero and infinity are not real numbers. What I got this is from undefined and zero slopes. The vertical line moves forever and never moves in the x direction. Even I'm not purely sure if dividing by zero will get infinity.
By that post you created so many black holes that even the black-hole-creators got confused and gave up.
Only because of that this solar system still exists.
Division is the inverse of multiplication. Let's see why you can't divide by zero using the number 9:
If:
9 / 0 = X
Then:
X * 0 = 9
Please tell me what value of X satisfies both equations. That is what you get when you divide 9 by zero. Do note that this works if you replace 0 with any non-zero number (it is, after all, the definition of division). Let's replace it with 3, for instance:

That's not how it works. Think of the numbers as apples.
You have 2 people to give apples to, but zero apples. 2/0 = error, because you can't give zero apples to two people.
You have 2 people to give an infinite amount of apples to. 2 / infinity = infinity, because you will never run out of apples.
Sorry, but can't happen. Your use of zero is not a complete expression. At most you can say that a real number divided by zero will reach an ideal point of infinity. But it can reach the point of infinity only be on the same real projective line as infinity.
But if you are to state that, you might as will say that any number that is divided by zero is any other number on a real projective line. For example x/0=y as long as y is any real number on a projective line. Then you are not stating a algebraic expression, but you are stating that geometric interpretation of a vertical line on a infinite slope that continues until it is a enclosed sphere.
Incorrect. Division by zero is undefined. The best we can do as take the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero. (We choose values of x closer and closer to zero, and see what the fraction is approaching.) This limit is infinity, but that does not mean 1/0 is infinity. The same applies to dividing by infinity, if you take the limit of 1/x as x goes to infinity, it is zero, but that does not mean 1/infinity is zero. (This probably only makes sense if you know calculus or precalc.)
I figured that dividing by zero gets infinity. Over-simplified, you need to work with limits and such, but whatever.
But what happens if you divide by infinity? You get zero! Again, over-simplified.
If you divide infinity by anything other than infinity, the answer will stay infinity! True
If you divide zero by anything other than zero, your answer will stay zero. Also true.
Quite strange; usually, when you divide a number by itself, you get one. But if you do it to zero, you get infinity. Not quite, remember those limits I mentioned earlier? 0/0 is actually an indeterminate form and you have to do some algebraic manipulation (or L'Hospital's Rule) to come up with some sort of meaningful answer.

No matter what.
If that is so, does Infinity have a negative or positive value and is it prime or composite?
Honestly, I do not see point of this thread...

Close one, dude. Close one...

If:
9 / 0 = X
Then:
X * 0 = 9
Please tell me what value of X satisfies both equations. That is what you get when you divide 9 by zero. Do note that this works if you replace 0 with any non-zero number (it is, after all, the definition of division). Let's replace it with 3, for instance:
If:
9 / 3 = X
Then:
X * 3 = 9
Here, X is obviously equal to 3.
Split 100 in to 0 groups: What do you get? The oldest calculators will get you SYNTHAX ERROR
It gets a result.
HEY GUYS I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THE BIBLE DIES
That's not how it works. Think of the numbers as apples.

See how that isn't the same?
Wouldn't that be negative since you are in debt.
But if you are to state that, you might as will say that any number that is divided by zero is any other number on a real projective line. For example x/0=y as long as y is any real number on a projective line.
