Why is dividing by zero undefined?

Dividing by zero is undefined because it violates the fundamental property of division, where the quotient should be a unique value. In the case of dividing by zero, there are an infinite number of possible values, making it impossible to define a single answer.

What is the value of $\frac{0}{0}$?
