Division by zero

Name: Anonymous 2006-05-10 18:59

Whether division by zero is possible or not is a matter of metamathematics. Division is just a distribution of elements among a number of receivers. However, how many elements would you give to no receivers? The answer is simple. You wouldn't give any elements. This certainly makes sense. With this I can prove division of any number by zero equals to zero.

I would like to quote a famous statement: ex nihilo nihil fit (from nothing, nothing comes). This is yet another proof that x / 0 = 0, for any x, including infinite.

Actually, yes, ∞+∞=2∞. However, it is also 3∞. And 1∞. And 4∞. Etc.

Introducing one or more infinity elements only causes more problems.
