infinty x 0=-1
it's true it is provable using negative reciprocals
1 x (-1/1)=-1
2 x (-1/2)=-1
3 x (-1/3)=-1
...
infinty x (-1/infinity)=-1
1/infinty = 0 because the larger a number is you divide by the smaller your answer
-0=0 (well duh)
so infinity x 0 =-1

Well I am no mathematician...but... *ahem* Ladies and gentlemen! For your viewing pleasure! a pathetic attempt at dividing by zero! (i know nothing about the uber complicated maths that this knid of thing would take if it were even possible.)
Divisions of 6. (numbers paired up) and Difference of pairs.
6/1=6
6/2=3 |3
6/3=2
6/4=1.5 |0.5
6/5=1.2
6/6=1 |0.2
6/7=0.9
6/8=0.75 (rounded) |0.11
6/9=0.7 (rounded)
6/10=0.6 |0.1
number line thingy
0.6 | 0.7 | 0.75 | 0.9 | 1 | 1.2 | 1.5 | 2 | 3 | 6 | ?(the answer)
0.1 | | 0.11 | | 0.2 | | 0.5 | | 3 |
0.10 0.3 2.5
Fuck it, i can't be arsed with this, i should be doing something more interesting and less mind-breaking than maths on a friday night.

There is no real number in which you can multiple with 0 and get 1. Since 0 has no reciprocal you cannot divide by it.Dana22 said:
Except that isn't dividing by 0.Dags90 said:
Lets say we are taking the limit of 1/x as x tends toward 0. Limit just gives you the number that the equation tends toward as x gets closer to 0. We can say it is dividing by zero in the same way we can say 1e-67 is zero.
n/0=Infinity.
There's nothing special about dividing by zero aside from that it would have been too much of a hassle for early computers to be programmed to recognize they're trying to calculate Infinity.
