You would not believe how many people have argued with me that it is possible to divide by zero. I love the debates over what nothing actually means. How many nothings can you have? Is zero infinite? If I put zero into something is the next zero unique or the same?
It is possible, though. Only one man can do this. His name is Chuck Norris.
In mathematics, division by zero is division where the divisor (denominator) is zero. Such a division can be formally expressed as a/0 where a is the dividend (numerator).
In ordinary arithmetic, the expression has no meaning, as there is no number which, multiplied by 0, gives a (assuming ‘a’ is not = 0), and so division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 is also undefined; when it is the form of a limit, it is an indeterminate form.
Historically, one of the earliest recorded references to the mathematical impossibility of assigning a value to a/0 is contained in George Berkeley’s criticism of infinitesimal calculus in 1734 in The Analyst (”ghosts of departed quantities”).[1]
There are mathematical structures in which a/0 is defined for some a such as in the Riemann sphere and the projectively extended real line; however, such structures cannot satisfy every ordinary rule of arithmetic (the field axioms).
