Alright so 0/0 is according to some theories is ∞ cuz 1/0.001 is equal to 1000 yep, that's true however.
If you assume that 0/0 is ∞ then what's 1/∞?
1/∞ is for sure the smallest fraction possible not 0.
Now how division works:
We have 1/2 so you're asking yourself how many twos are in 1 but this approach is shit.
Instead think what multipliyer do you need to turn 2 to 1.
Here's algebraic edition:
2 * x = 1
Of course first you need to calculate what's 1/2 which is 0.5 & 0.5 * 2 = 1.
Basically inverses of natural numbers are free division but in multiplication.
Cuz 1/2 ÷ 1/2 is 0.5 * 2
Following that logic we can solve what's 0/0.
So what do we need to turn 0 into 0?
ANY NUMBER.
That's right cuz anything multiplied by 0 is 0!
0 * x = 0
So that means you can get any numbers from 0/0 (which kinda sucks in computing)
But atleast x ÷ x = 1 is always 1 for sure.
But you may ask how about 1/0?
Well to anwer your questions just ask yourself what do you need to turn 0 into 1?
So 0 * x = 1
And this is.... Impossible.
Cuz anything multiplied by 0 is 0 so there's no number that can turn 0 into 1.
I have a theory why this is impossible cuz what number is inverse of zero?
Well there's no number like that (probably) so we can't do a funny division in multiplication trick cuz first we should solve 1/0.
So that means 0 / 0 is anything you want but x / 0 where x ≠ 0 is impossible unless you add some sort of wacky imaginary numbers that are solution to 1/0.
