Define division as the inverse of multiplication.

[math]a/0=b[/math]
[math]a = 0 b[/math]
thus it only makes sense if a = 0

no. Multiplication is repeated addition. 0+0+0+0+0... an infinite number of times is still 0.
Or, look at it this way:

so you have 0

that happens in other ways with infinity though because infinity can't be treated like a normal number.
EG, For any number greater than 1:
x < x^2

now if x is infinity... what then?

The multiplicative absorption property of infinity means that 2*infinity = 3*infinity = infinity. There's no logical contradiction in stating that any number divided by 0 is infinity even if you can abuse the algebra to imply 2 = 3. It's simply an irreversible operation. Information is destroyed as a result of performing the operation. Taking the derivative of an equation is another irreversible operation which is why when you integrate you always include +C.

Only a theoretical mathematician totally disconnected from reality and reason would make such a claim that there is any more than 1 infinity. As soon as you bring 1 infinity within the same realm or space as another, the lesser ceases to exist as an infinity. Besides, infinity actually does not exist at all.

>>16492970
No they are actually the same;
5/0 = 6/0 = 1/0 = 0
and,
1/0 = 0/1
which leads to another most important result:
0*0 = 1*1 = 0/0 = 1/1 = 1
which in itself also shows that 1 is not 0;
that is because
as
x/0 = 0, except for when x = 0
because when x=0, x/0 = 1
It shows how 0 is absolutely unique, in that it is listed and works among the numbers, but is not actually a true number in the way that the others

Why would the answer be infinity?
It should be zero.
Otherwise you can never divide and reach zero.
If you try to divide nothing among 3 people you get nothing.
If you try to divide 3 things among zero people you get nothing still since "no one" can receive anything.

The assumption that it is infinity is circular reasoning error that ignores the reality which the principle was designed upon.

If dividing by zero had any merit reality would be completely different and we could easily have infinite supplies of things.

If infinity "exists" (as in : is a quantity, can be quantified), yes. But that's the problem : infinity as it is treated today is a fictional concept. Infinity, by definition is not something that is reached, it's litterally in the name. There is NEVER a point where you have reached the final amount of numbers, so it CANNOT exist. But modern physicists/mathematicians insist on our universe being composed of infinities, that is simply not possible. If present states follow infinities, then that would mean that they cannot exist, because they would represent a state that would NEVER be reached (i.e. it CANNOT be reached). Never means never, sorry mathcucks and physicscels.
