From a logical stand point shouldn't dividing a number by 0 give you 0?

Yes, it shouldn't.
no bcos u have 1 0 and if you count how many 0s you have you count to 1
If you divide by 0 you're not dividing the number by anything, so it should return whatever number you didn't divide.
But if that were the case then 1 would be equal to zero because it also returns the number in the numerator
it depends what wheel you're working in
How do you divide 5 dollars between 0 people?
My pre school teacher told me x/0 = x because if there are no friends to divide to, you can keep it all to yourself.Pure mathematicians absolutely btfo.
>learning division in pre school
Fucking accelerated programs man
yeah man, she also in that same class told us fairness is a social construct and we should read some god damn nietzsche
dividing something by 0 should give you the same answer as dividing by 1
1*0=0
1/0=1
math is broken
if you split something once then you get 2 things.
but if you divide something by 1 then you get 1 thing wtf. whoever made the division system was fucked on meth.
by leaving it with the original source.
But then you're not dividing it.
is 5/1 a division?
How would you devide 5 dollars between half a people?
yo give them 10 dollars through affirmative action
> implying black people are half a person rather than 3/5 of a person
Yes.
>take X
>divide into 0 parts
>people think this is undefined or 0 instead of X remaining unchanged
Brainlets really are holding us back from quantum mathematics
54 / 0 = 54
54 / 1 = 54
0 / 54 = 0
1 / 54 = 0.0185...
Seems simple enough to me.
0 and 1 are both place holders. 1 means nothing in this respect. Because when you divide by 1 you are not dividing by anything. It is the same as 0 in this respect.
Math is a faulty representation of the real world.
Take an empty egg carton. That's -12 eggs or 0 eggs or both? Both are incorrect. It is a fucking egg carton.
Don't they teach kids the shit these days?
"Cut a pie into 0 pieces without taking any out."
That's essentially what dividing by zero is, turning something into nothing.
I divided by 0 and thought about The Game.
You burn the money.
1/0=x
can be rewritten as
x*0=1
no real number satisfies this property
1/0 isn't a real number
>From a logical stand point shouldn't dividing a number by 0 give you 0?
No.
Any sane person would understand that if something in a given system is "undefined" then it is NOT defined, which means that it is NOT 0.
How many 0 pies can you divide 10 pies into?
>it is a fucking egg carton

If I give you a sandwich and cut it in half,
I've given you 1 sandwich and I've cut it into 2 pieces, the quotient is two pieces of 1/2 of a sandwich.
If I give you 3 sandwiches and cut it into 0 pieces, well that's just not fucking possible, retard. If I cut it into infinitesimal pieces, that's still 1/infinitesimal, or if I don't cut it at all, that's 1. Dividing by zero, if it did work, would ever equal zero.
but this can be rewritten as finding the zero of a reciprocal function, 1/x = 0. Find the y value, and then you have an answer. The answer is [0, 0]
oh wait, i'm stupid, [0,0] is an asymptote, The answer either approaches positive infinity or negative infinity.
