Why is the division of zero by itself not equal to one,since it is conventional that any number divided by itself is equal to one?,or maybe is zero not a number?
Because zero isn't part of the multiplicative group. The question does not exist. It's as if we asked why we can't breath on the moon.Mbuso said:Why is the division of zero by itself not equal to one?
The result of dividing zero by itself is undefined. This is because any number divided by zero is undefined in mathematics.
Division by zero is not allowed because it leads to mathematical inconsistencies and contradictions. It also violates the fundamental rule of division, which states that any number divided by zero is undefined.
An example of division of zero by itself is 0 ÷ 0. This expression is undefined and cannot be simplified or solved.
No, division of zero by itself is not allowed in any situation. It always results in an undefined answer.
The concept of limits is used to approach the value of a function as the input approaches a certain value. In the case of division of zero by itself, the limit of the function does not exist as it approaches zero, indicating that the function is undefined at that point.
