on dividing any number say '1' by 0 u'll get the quotient to be 1111111111111111111111.......................
whichz not gonna stop.... unless and until u stop....
and so?
well 0/1 = 0

not complete!there much more left out...think more!
m sure if u look at "define" word i highlited...so u must note i don't do tht without purpose....n thts biggest hint....n i don't ask non-sense limiting things [3][3](just kidding)....just go for
this hint:
"PROPERTIES OF OPERATIONS"...i hope u will crack it down in no time now!

look....0x0=0
0x1=0
0x2=0
0x3=0
chalte jao
0x10000000000002222222222229999999999999944444444444444777777777=0
so now let us divide...
1000=we are confused what to write as the first digit of the quotient! ;)
So not defined! :P

Adding to what subho said, an example will illustrate,
5*0 = 6*0
Dividing both sides by zero,
5=6 ! [3]

what say bout this?
Let, a = b
=> ab = b2
=> ab - a2 = b2 - a2
=> a (b - a) = (b + a)(b - a)
=> a = b + a
putting, a = 1 we get, 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
or, 1 = 2 .... what???????
Its simple that , division of any number by 0 is not-defined or infinity...
but, 0/0 form is indeterminate and not equal to 1
This is the error in my proof above.... Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

(b-a)=0...how can u divide it by 0

Good question kunl.Zero=nil
1 is quite big for nil.So,1 by nil is going to be infinite.So,it cannot be defined.

I,kunl,you talked about a question which came in iitjee about quadratic equation.In that Kunl gave good logic
a.b-0=>a=0 or b=0.But not necessarily a=0 may be b=0.You have again revised your mistake.
