get in it!
x * 0 = 0, where x is just about anything.
0/0 = x, where x is just about anything.
0/0 isn’t just 10.
I concluded during math class that 0/0 could be anything…
could that mean that 0/0=(The answer to life, the universe and everything else)? That’d make 42 irrelevant!
actually, dividing by 0 yields an infinite result, like tan90.
tan(90) is dividing by 0. tan(90)=sin(90)/cos(90)=1/0.
Only when you divide 0 by 0. anything else divided by 0 equals 0 since 0 can’t go into anything but 0.
x/0=∞
0/0=∞
42/0=∞
Johnny Topside/0=∞
etc.
Although. *Warning: More troll logics inbound in
3…2…1… BOOM!*
If x/x = 1 and X=0, doesnt that mean 0/0=1?
x/0 is undefined for any x, not equal to inf…
I think you got that backwards…
Take it back!
From what I got, that 10 is just an example. You think you know math, but if you can’t understand that maybe you should just be with people more often.
That is why you can’t divide by zero. *Sigh* Because 1/0 can be anything between -infinite and infinite.
Yep, it’s all real numbers at once, which is why dividing by zero is mathematically illogical.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!
:snap:
Pudding.
A x B = C 10 x 1 = 10
C / A = B 10 / 10 = 1
C / B = A 10 / 1 = 10
why 0? it’s much simpler with 1
Can’t tell if trolling, or just very stupid.
Easiest with 1
1 x 1 = 1
1 / 1 = 1
1 / 1 = 1
or even
2 x 2 = 4
4 / 2 = 2
4 / 2 = 2
A lot of answers

Signed,

“The smart population of Amareica (who truly is the 1%).”
The smart population of America (who truly ARE the 1%).
Fix’d for you.
Signed,
The 99%.
Actually, “the smart population” is singular, so putting “is” is grammatically correct. “The population” is a single group, even though it’s composed of multiple people.
Signed,
A guy who thinks the English language is borked.
^This.
At least someone here understands grammar. The 99%, you truly do represent the 99% who do not understand these things.
It depends on if you’re American or British. Usually, I tend to follow British spelling and grammar, but in this case, I have to agree with the Americans.
You’re talking about one population, not the people who make up the population. British use plural for both.
It’s the same rule in French. ‘Tout le monde’ meaning literally ‘all the world,’ used to mean ‘everybody,’ conjugated like it is singular, because you’re talking about one world.
tries to correct grammar
misspells America and grammar didn’t need correcting. -10
^ this.
lolumad
Are you trying to go out of your way to prove their point? You really aren’t helping your case.
actually, “population” is a collective noun, meaning that it can be paired with either singular or plural verbs. yous guys are both right.
i love cats
CAN tell you’re trolling:
-”Amareica”
-”are”
-”THE 99%”
obvious enough??
You should really work on your grammar and spelling before correcting people.
First, learn how to spell “America.”
Secondly, the noun was not “America,” but rather “population.”
Stay in school. Please.
the smart population of america/population in the world = 0
Exactly.

You missed out 12.
My mind = blown
Your mind needs to understand math if this seems interesting to you.
Then again, you are part of the majority that thinks math is somehow mysterious and difficult.
Whatever. I’ll have an easier time getting a job as an engineer.
when A,B,C ≠ 0
Hmm, I have an equation x=5, so then 4=5, same principle.
This ”troll math” is the exact reason why you can’t divide by zero
actually you can. x/0 = infinity
just like how x/infinity = 0
So therefore the function has no limit?! You go Glen Coco!
Infinity is a concept, not a number. Division by zero is undefined. You can only express what you say as limits, that is, as the denominator approaches zero, the result approaches infinity (again, a concept, not a number). At the point where the denominator is zero, the function is undefined.
Exactly.
I’m impressed that somebody actually knows what happens when you divide by zero.
But in this case, that isn’t really applicable. Because you are using 0/0, you no longer have a limit approaching infinity. That is indeterminate form and can turn out to be anything.
True. I was assuming the x they used was non-zero. This thread has gotten me all interested again in what happens when you divide zero by itself.
Nice
Nope. If x=5 then by definition x is not 4. Therefore your conclusion that 4=5 is incorrect.
The point is that, if we ignore the fact that division by zero is undefined, we can arrive at the conclusion that any number is equivalent to any other. It’s an example of the principle of explosion – one of the better principles, I must admit.
Retarded.

YUS! Nailed it. Im cool now
Actually it’s a false sentence. Sorry for bursting your bubble, but since it is claimed that “A * B = C”, “10 * 0″ can’t be 0, since B and C are representing two different numbers. They can’t both be 0.
^This.
I came in here hoping someone already said that.
You came here hoping to have your faith in humanity destroyed by morons like this?
wrong. A is a reference to some value, you can have as many references as you like. Your rule is completely ridiculess and utterly useless.
Higgs, you are correct.
Yo, Combo Breaker, what the heck are you smoking? This is a prime example of somebody who doesn’t know math. Your conclusion is that 10 * 0 = 0 is false? Not only is that completely illogical, but your conclusion doesn’t prove anything or have anything to do with variable assignment. Do you really think that two variables can’t have the same value?
Let me show you otherwise…
x=y
Wow, that was a hard one to prove.
Oh, sorry for bursting your bubble.
B and C are representing two different values, not two different numbers– you can have both zero BANANAS and zero COCONUTS.
Math skills Get! please?
C and B represents arbitrary numbers.. not necessarily different ones. But x/0 is undefined for any x, so it doesn’t matter…
I thought these algebraic equations only work when ‘x’ (or ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ in this case) are non-zero integers…
fail troll-logic much?
another thing: a, b and c have to be different numbers. if b and c are the same (as in the picture) then they would both be called b (or c).
Pronumerals are allowed to be equal to each other.
no, they can be the same number. the only rule is that you cannot divide by 0. beyond that, you can do anything in algebra.
square root negative number
= i*abs(YourNumber)
natural log of zero
even that you can get around if you take an i out
yeah that’s right, you have to suppose that none of the variables equals 0 for the property to hold true
They can all be 0, that’s a general solution to all those linear equations
“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an i.”
“You’ll shoot your i out kid!”
“no, they can be the same number. the only rule is that you cannot divide by 0. beyond that, you can do anything in algebra.”
0^0
trololololololo
is 1, what of it?
According to google, lol, actually it couldn’t be one cuz 0^any number=0, but any number^0=1
It’s a matematic indefinition.
Are you retarded?
I’ll assume you picked that username just so you could say that to people.
Stewie, I hope you aren’t saying that about the comment by asd, because it is completely correct. It’s called indeterminate form. Look it up.
tis what I came to the comments to say.
Yeah that’s what I was going to post… but I guess that since the troll here is completely ignoring the non-zero integer rule, that makes him/her an even BETTER troll?
…right?
Wrong.
Not only are your presuppositions incorrect, but this has nothing to do with trolling.
Two things wrong with what you said: 1) The numbers don’t need to be integers. 2) They don’t need to be non-zero.
Other than that, you are completely correct.
I give you a 0 out of 10 as your genius score there…
If you troll, troll it good.
I’ve now got the song “whip it” stuck in my head. Not bad.
Technically the first line A x B = C is A x B = B… Just Saying.
Technically, you’re a moron. Just saying…
Technically, he isn’t.
Noob needs to learn math.
0/0 = All numbers. And?
the A B C stuff is correct, if you translated 10 and 0 it would only be using A and B e.g. A = 10 B = 0 A x B = B B / A = B B / B = B
B/B would equal 1…
nope, you assuming what some guy up ^there said (can only be different intergers). but ANY letter can be ANY number and these numbers can be the same. otherwise everyone would fail math in the uk.
first off in the UK if you need to have a number be represented by two or more letters you deserve to fail
next if you can have 0/0 = 10 then (0/0)/10 =10/10 so 0=1 and if you have at least any knowledge of how numbers and math work you know that is imposable
last nice name fellow brony
In the UK? Please don’t bring Europe into this. That’s true everywhere. What the troll didn’t mention is that for C/A=B and C/B=A, the domains of A and B =/= 0, respectively, since we all know you can’t divide by zero. The failure to acknowledge that is where the 0/0=10 paradox came in.
Learn to domains, peoples.
Also, nice broniness, fellow bronies.
0/0=n, n can be any real or imaginary number. Mih.
No. 0/0 is undefined. Anything divided by zero is undefined.
Also worth noting:
lim(x->0)0/x = 0
lim(x->0)x/x = 1
Damn you L’Hopital! Showing all these kids how to take limits like this! Mathemagic will vanish off the face of the Earth one day because of knowledge like this getting out.
and lim(x->0)1/x=+/-∞
well, strictly speaking there isn’t one. You would have to designate left hand or right hand limit.
It’s okay. At least some people understand calculus. 0/0=k
wrost trollscience EVA!
WHAT. THE. F***. IS. THIS
The poster just forgot (or perhaps deliberately left out) the limitations.
C/A=B only if A=/= 0
also
C/B=A only of B=/= 0
lol sir
you can give letters any value, but 10 and zero already have values(duh), so that troll math is totally wrong…
… I thought that when you moved something to the other side of the equal sign it would become a negative. *I’m just sayin’*
You are 1000 equations too early to make a valid comment here.
Good Guy Greg
No, you’ll learn why next chapter, kid.
Quit “just sayin’” and start paying attention in your math class.
You’re so gonna fail if you take a test using that logic…
if A*B=C
then A=C/B only if B!=0. You’re not allowed to divide by zero.
OBJECTION!!! Two different variables cannot have the same value..
IDIOT!!! Yes they can..
You sir, are an idiot. Seriously, you can only get the algebraic values if all three still work. X + 5 = Y, Y*X = 50. X is 5, and Y is 10. If X was 6, Y would be 11, but the problem would be wrong. You can’t just decide what the numbers are, it has to work.
You didn’t get it.
You sir, have been trolled.
this actually isn’t true, because it says that 0=B and 0=C, though 0 can only be one of the two… there have to be three different numbers involved..
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP DOING THIS GOD
Seriously. These people who think that only one variable can have a discreet value clearly do not understand the concept of a variable.
Check this witchcraft out…
x=y
Yes, I have blown all of your minds. Two variables are equal. I can even graph it for you. Bow to the power.
Close, but not quite. You see, I’m too stupid to understand how algebra works. In order to reconcile this with the fact that it may be the single most useful mathematical concept, ever, I must insist that it behave in a manner which robs it of all its power.
I’m pretty sure variables can’t equal 0 anyway
They can, actually. That’s precisely why you have to be careful whenever you divide by a variable, because you have to account for the case if the variable is zero.

Blah blah blah blah; -x blahblahs
so.. much.. fail
they can be zero, it’s just you’ll end up with 0 or infinity.
A=A, B=B, C=A*B
You can choose anything you want for A and B except zero.
No, A & B can be zero all they want to be, you just cant divide by zero. if A or B is equal to 0 then C is zero, if C is 0 than either A or B has to be 0 and the other can be anything.
You actually can choose any variable, doesn’t matter if one of them is zero or not.
You can even pick the number “1″ for all three.
The only problems that might occur is if you try to invert the multiplication, since division is not defined if the second entry is 0.
You can still multiply by 0, though. Only problem might be that you then have an infinite amount of solutions to the equation, which is still alright, mind you.
No one sees that it’s wrong here?
You cannot divide by zero.
tecnically he didnt divide by 0, he devided 0 by 10
he did. as per his values:
a = 10
b = 0
c= 0
c/b = 0/0 so undefined. he did.
noone sees that it’s troll math?
you got trolololed
10X0=0
10=A
0=B
0=C
Therefore, AXB=B
The ’10X0=0′ isn’t the formula ‘AXB=C’
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
Two variables can’t represent the same value. Unless they represent different things.
why not?
you fail, go back to kindergarten
I hate math. Troll or not
You idiot, when you divide zero by zero it can technically be any number. This is because any number multiplied by zero is zero, which means that zero divided by zero is any number. Any number INCLUDES 10. U MAD?
I’m not mad. I just accept that you have no clue what you’re talking about.
if you divide a number by itself the answer is always 1. therefore 0/0=1.
but since any number multiplied by 0 is 0, that means 0/0 can be any number.
U JELLY MATHFAGS?
i guess you don’t think you can do math with infinity then?
You got trolled.
are you guys retarded? AxB=C
therefore the number that AxB produce is not the same as A or B that is why it is called C
if B=0 and C = 0 the equation in algebraic form would look like this
AxB=B gah
OH MY GOD STOP IT
to much to handle? :7
0 / 0 = 1.0
uber facepalm. how can nothing divided by nothing be equal to a rational number?
Anything is possible in TROLL MATH. Fool.
Actually, 0/0=1. That is correct.
if you had gone to school you would have known that this does not apply to the number 0. retard. it’s in the exceptions section.
Troll obviously hasnt heard of Ratio and Proportion
10 %
Problem?
this just means that your equations were incorrect…
This would be logical, except for one fluke. You forgot about the multiplicative property of zero, which outsets zero from all other numbers.
When you divide by zero the answer can be any number. That’s why it’s such a useless answer.
no. anything divided by zero is undefined. also these types of equations only work with an non zero integer
Actually, it’s undefined.
[longnerdyproof]
Dividing is finding out how many of a certain number (the divisor) will equal the starting number (the dividend).
e.g. 6/2=3, because 6=2+2+2, and the number of 2′s I just added was 3.
Therefore, anything divided by zero would be infinity.
e.g. to get 6 by adding zeros, 0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0… ad infinitum.
Even at infinity, because you haven’t increased by anything (remember, x+0=x), you still haven’t reached 6. You’re still stuck at zero.
Therefore, since infinity zeros, the largest number of zeros possible (infinity+1 is still technically infinity, by infinity’s definition), cannot reach 6, there is no defined number of zeros that can be added to get 6 (or any number, for that matter).
Therefore, the answer is undefined. [/longnerdyproof]
Actually, it depends on the infinity you are using. Working with ordinals and denoting infinity with w (a fail omega), 1+w = w != w+1
Those properties are only correct if A0 and B0. HURR
The abc equations are wrong. C cant be equal to A x B in the first equation, B/A in the second and A/B in the third
1×1=1
1/1=1
1/1=1
Not rocket science
hurr di duur fail math
Ohh no, they have found the answer, is the internet over now?
Yes.
Great, now I can be productive again.
Your multiplication property is not well defined on your implicit equivalence relation on the set of real numbers. Come back when you have a definition of multiplication complete with a rigorous proof that your system is well-defined.
so since AxB=C should C equal something different from B?
My gosh. So many idiots saying the exact same thing.
This makes me want to commit suicide. I’m here learning calculus and acing every test that comes my way, and these idiots thing that two variables can’t be equal.
Leave the country. There are too many of you.
Usually when there an equation using variables, zero could make a big different. Therefore, a or b are usually defined as being a nonzero number, just to prevent this sort of confusion.
math fail b and c have to be diffrent
Math fail. B and C can be the same. Watch this witchcraft…
A = B
A = 0
Therefore,
B = 0
Don’t correct people when you are wrong and will look like an idiot.
0/0 is indeterminate. This means it can be any number. It’s not undefined like other people have said, it’s indeterminate. It can be ANYTHING. This doesn’t happen when you divide anything by 0, but only when you divide 0 by 0.
You are absolutely right. I’m glad someone on here knows basic calculous.
Two things: it’s called calculus, and this isn’t even calculus.
Calculus is derivatives, integrals, and the applications of both of these. Indeterminate form is important to calculus, but it is not calculus in and of itself. You can use calculus when working with indeterminate form (L’Hopital), but in and of itself, limits isn’t calculus.
incorrect, A B ANd C have to be diffeerent numbers
A/B=C => C*B=A , if B = O you have a problem.
Using this you can actually get 0/0=10, not that you guys would know about it…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule
Looking stuff up on the internet doesn’t make you a maths whizz.
This equation is only applicable when A, B and C are different positive integers, still funny though!
erm.. is it me or did that guy just devide by 0 and got away it his life intact
Enter Stewie “are you retarded?”
Dividing by zero is undefined, meaning it can be literally WHATEVER THE F**K YOU WANT IT TO BE. I’m 13. Learn math.
Well that’s exactly what he did, isn’t it?
It uses the multiplicative property of equality and division property of equality, so
if A * B = C, then (A * B)/B = C/B, which is equal to A = C/B, the same can be done for B = C/A, however, you can not divide by zero, so therefore the statement is only true if A and B do not equal zero. A and B and C can be any numbers, except 0 ( C cant equal zero because of zero product property).
Algebra 2 Nerd FTW
the limit as x approaches 2 of (x^2-4)/(x-2) = 0/0
((x-2)(x+2))/(x-2) = x+2 = 4
the limit as x approaches 2 of (x^2-4)/(x-2) = 0/0 = 4
Calculus Nerd FTW
Dividing by zero isn’t normal but on math it is
Math. Not even once.
1 x 0 = 0
2 x 0 = 0
1 x 0 = 2 x 0
(1 x 0)/0 = (2 x 0)/0
1 = 2
umad?
Not really. You just proved very clearly why dividing by zero f**ks everything up.
You see, the problem there is that you’re considering that you can cancel 0/0 as if it was 1, but you can’t.
Whenever you can divide by zero, 1=2. But then 1=2=0.
You can divide by zero when zero is invertible.
If so, there is a number ‘a’ such that a x 0 = 0 x a = 1 (a is the inverse of 0).
But we always have a x 0 = 0. Therefore 1 = 0.
And for each number b,
b x 1 = b
b x 1 = b x 0 = 0
b = 0
If you can divide by zero, then every number is zero. But you still have consistent addition and multiplication laws. It’s called the trivial ring.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_ring
theres this little rule that says “Only if X>0″
This man has not taken calculus, 0/0 equals other sh*t all the time
Math fail, A*B=C,
A, B, and C are variables,
but they still represent numbers,
therefore they have to be different numbers,
so you cant assume B and C are 0
it’s either B=0
or C=0
B and C can’t equal the same number
Therefore you fail
Incorrect.
lol n00bs.
take calc 2. this is all covered in week 1.
c/b =a when b then 0.
so the example obviously its not true.
Extra: to the guy who said she could prova that 4=5 that troll math theres an error too ( (sqrt X)^2 = abs (X), not X)
Everyone in here is nubby…
“=” means that both sides are the same. When you say 0/0=10 you are saying 0/0 and 10 are the same number which is false. So instead of saying all these retarded formulas look at the one that is in yo face and see that it translates into false.
this would not be true. you would have to have 3 different numbers.
the sample you are using is 10×0=0 correct.well that is the numerical equivalent of axb=b. to create axb=c, you use 3 different numbers such as:
10×3=30
axb=c
Incorrect. There’s no reason you can’t assign two variables to the same value. This is often desired if they represent different quantities, such as, I don’t know, an input to the function and its output.
All this means is that, for that particular value of b, the equation yields that same value. There’s absolutely no reason that value cannot be represented by a different variable.
Comment trying to be smart and disproving the meme
Comment disagreeing with your comment and calling you a name for no other reason than to sound smart, when instead sounding like a really immature douche.
WHAT DID YOU DO
f*cking fail troll. A=/=B B=/=C A=/=C and ur stupid example included 2 same numbers. l 2 troll
^This.
Either this is one of the most effective mass trolls I’ve ever seen, or the US public education system is in really bad shape.
I’m not going to bother using the mathematical jargon. In layman’s terms: you’re an idiot.
livin in a world where 0*10 = 10 go get math lessons xD
a*b =c
c/b = a, if and only if, b is not equal to 0.
Go back to Math class.
You know, I think math troll is successful. Look how many people wasted there time on all these comments to prove him wrong (me included)
I would say that I’m suprised by the number of people who would get angry at this….but upon looking further into the internet, I am not.
A x B = B?
B and C have to have different values to assign them different letters….. dummy
No they don’t
1×1=1
1/1=1
1/1=1
Not rocket science
Fail. this is actually written a*b=b.
lol, mega multiple fail…..
it says A*B=C
but then when he substituted numbers in it said 10*0=0
B and C cannot be the same number
A*B=C
C/A=B=(A*B)/B
C/B=A=(A*B)/B
regardless of the numbers used it is right (of course in algebra cant divide by zero and such, but its a troll so who cares)
2*3=6
6/2=3
6/3=2
Second line is wrong. Should be (A*B)/A
YOU didn’t!
NO!
YOU DID!
YOU DIVIDED BY 0! YOU MOTHAFUnA! NOW WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!!
This cannot work. The original equation (A x B = C) implies that B and C are different numerical values. Therefore, the numbers supplied (10 x 0 = 0) cannot be plugged into this equation. Consider that a free algebra lesson.
Don’t comment about things that you don’t understand. There is absolutely no reason that two variables can’t have the same value.
Consider this a life lesson from a person in college taking calculus at the very top of his class.
im sorry but your are probably failing that class
Again, do not speak of things you do not understand. I have not gotten a single question wrong on any assignment thus far in Calculus II.
Also, are you seriously talking to me about failing? You can’t even write. You wrote nine words, and you have 5 spelling and grammar mistakes. That’s pathetic.
The difference between you and me is that I actually know what I’m talking about and you just want to sound confident.
So, go on. Tell me what I don’t know. Tell me how I’m wrong. Prove that you have the intelligence of a lemon, for crying out loud. So far, it seems that you don’t.
I think the real troll logic here is that anything, even a mathematical equation, can garter large amounts of comments whether people agree or disagree with it.
I hope someone said it before…
You just CAN’T divide by zero, elementar math logic.
Okay, first off, I’m terrible at maths and I’m only in my early schooling years but if the definition of division is basically “how much X can go into Y?” then you can’t put nothing into nothing so wouldn’t 0/0=0?
I think we’re being trolled harder by the people who are insisting this doesn’t work because B and C represent the same value…
This is true, in a certain sense. Those of us who understand math are getting upset at these idiots, but they don’t know how they are wrong. So, it’s the classic case of an idiot making a stupid comment and then claiming to troll you, when there was really no trolling intent.
Surely that many people can’t be that stupid, though. I refuse to live in that world.
You don’t want to live on this planet anymore?
Need to express how utterly shattered your faith in humanity is following a display of extreme and/or widespread stupidity?
There’s a meme for that.
damn is this real
NOPE!!
it`s just chuck testa
Ohm’s Law
Something divided by nothing equals anything.
Technically, 1/0, or any real number divided by zero, is “undefined”. Let r be any real number such that r ≠ 0.
Let r/0 = k –> k * 0 = r but k * 0 = 0 –> r = 0, which contradicts our earlier statement. This means that no such number k exists, or that r/0 is not defined.
Come on
2*4=8
8/2=4
8/4=2
Only the first line is usefull the other two are only therr to not let you divide by zero, any number will do as long a*b=c and neither=0.
Im a lawyer, im not supposed to know math, and yet i realize this.
No, this is incorrect. A, B, and C in the example all represent different values. In the problem with 10 and zero, you have zero being two variables, which inherently fucn up the problem, making this wrong.
My cook, you can suck.
No. Go back to school.
is you have made B = 0 in the equation and the answer is also 0, then the correct formula = A x B = B
the problem with the formula is that b and c are both equal, which makes one expression irrelevant so it would never be shown as it is on there. The correct formula to show what is there is A*B=B which means that A is in fact equal to 1 and B could be anything.
On the subject of dividing by 0, its theoretically possible in a literal situation. If a bag of 10 sweets is divided by 0 people nobody receives any sweets, but 10 sweets still exist even if they haven’t been shared out. Since they have been divided by 0 and they still remain, the answer can either be, 0 sweets were shared out, or 10 sweets remain. Therefore 10/0= 10 or 0, not infinity.
Problem?
This kind of thing is exactly why division by zero is an undefined operation: an artifact of notation, if you will, that means nothing. If you allow it, all kinds of absurd results follow.
……..WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!??!?????!!?!
If the equation written out in variables has a variable in the denominator, it is typically understood that that variable cannot equal 0, so therefore A, B =/= 0 should be written after the equation
Anytime there is a rule involving division, it is normally the simplification of the rule. There is always an asterisk that says whatever the denominator is cannot be zero. Obviously this was a (successful) troll post, but just to make things clear: This is how math works. Though it’s often tempting to try to assign x/0 as infinity, or an infinite amount of answers, or zero, these are wrong. When graphs involve the division of zero, you ACTUALLY have to show a visible break in the line at that point. You CANNOT divide by zero. You have to find a work-around. Any teacher who has ever told you otherwise has been simplifying the truth or was simply wrong.
It equals…..
OH SHI-
A = 1
B = 1
C = 1
Problem Solved
10 x 0 = 0 would be the same as A x B = B; 0/10 = 0 is the same as B/A = B; therefore B/B =/= A. Your math is inconsistent.
All of god’s creatures, fresh off the grill- so come on down to Mr.Meaty where friends meet to eat. Meat.
This picture is stupid.
It clearly states that those rules at the top are only true when A,B are in R/{0} (C/A=B and C/B=A) so it is only telling half the story.
Dude, 0/0 is not infinity.
Guys, when you get to 0/10=0, you multiply both sides by 10 in order to simplify further, when he just got rid of the 10 on the left, and added it on the right. By regular simplification it would go from 0/10=0 to 0/10(10)=0(10) which would then become 0=0. F*** your troll math.
This is why you can’t divide by zero. Anything divided by zero is everything and nothing at the same time.
you guys are all dumb, you can’t have two variables standing for one number, go back to sixth grade.
I’m in college taking Single-Variable Calculus II, and I say you can have two variables representing one number. Watch this…
x=y
Oh, yeah. You don’t even need calculus to know these easy things.
Don’t correct people if you don’t know. You’ll probably be wrong.
Get off the Internet.
I find interesting what Chrome166 says: “anything divided by zero is nothing and everything at the same time”.
It serves me well to make a distinction that in my experience, clarifies to kids the true meaning of dividing by zero.
The point is that isn’t entirely true that when you divide by zero you get nothing at everything AT THE SAME TIME”. It’s not at the same time.
Please, stay with me for a minute and you will say “aha!” in the end (I think).
Look, division is the inverse of multiplication, that’s its definition. So, the equation:
8/2 = 4
means that the number that solves the equation
? * 4 = 8
is the number 2.
Now, when you try to solve this
8/0 = ?
The unknown quantity ? can be expressed as
? * 0 = 8
But you know that anything multiplied by zero gives you zero. There is no number that when multiplied by zero gives you 8.
So it is IMPOSSIBLE to solve this equation: there is no number that solves it. So, the solution is NOTHING. There is no number that is equal to the unknown quantity ?
Now, when you try to solve:
0/0 = ?
Then you conclude:
? * 0 = 0
But then, in this case, you could fill the ? with ANY number. The equation is solved by replacing the ? with any number you wish. Any number multiplied by zero would give you zero.
So, the solution is EVERYTHING. Any number could be equal to the unkown quantity ?
So, when you try to divide by zero any number, the solution is NOTHING, but in the particular case when you try to divide by zero the number zero, the solution is EVERYTHING.
So, it’s not at the same time, as Chrome166 suggested.
Simple.
So is this trying to say that I can consistently get the same answer for the same question every time as long as I bar the possibility of /0?
But at the same time trying to say once I /0 then consistency goes out the window and by /0 I can make any real number = any other real number?
Sounds like something my mom was talking about when I was younger.
Division by zero is algebraically valid (as in, it can be incorporated into an equation and manipulated normally) but the operation itself is not.
this meme is a fail. A B C are different numbers from each other. You clearly made it that two variables equal to each other instead of the alteration between among one another.
Stop being so damn stupid! Has the Internet not yet taught you that you cannot divide by zero?
I’m sorry but your argument is incorrect, for you need a triangle in the first place for those rules to be valid, where as you have a line and two missing lines for a triangle. =)
