What would 6 ÷ 0 and 9 ÷ 0 be equal to?

1.	What would 6 ÷ 0 and 9 ÷ 0 be equal to?
Answer» 6 ÷ 0 6 is divided by 0 means, we subtract 0 from 6 repeatedly i.e., we subtract 0 from 6 again and agian from 6. 6 – 0 = 6 once 6 – 0 = 6 twice 6 – 0 = 6 thrice and ………………. If we subtract zero from 6 successively we can’t get zero at any end. So, 6 ÷ 0 is not a number that we can reach. So, division of a whole number by 0 does not give a known number as answer, so it is not defined. Similarly 9 ÷ 0 is not defined. So, we can’t say whether they are equal or not.

Answer»

6 ÷ 0

6 is divided by 0 means, we subtract 0

from 6 repeatedly i.e., we subtract 0

from 6 again and agian from 6.

6 – 0 = 6 once

6 – 0 = 6 twice

6 – 0 = 6 thrice and ……………….

If we subtract zero from 6 successively we can’t get zero at any end.

So, 6 ÷ 0 is not a number that we can reach.

So, division of a whole number by 0 does not give a known number as answer, so it is not defined.

Similarly 9 ÷ 0 is not defined.

So, we can’t say whether they are equal or not.
