Best answer
0 divided by 0 has no answer because the answer does not exist.

If I gave you an apple pie and told you to divide it into 4 pieces, you could cut it up evenly and serve 4 friends. What if I asked you to cut up the pie to serve 0  people. You could not serve the pie. The answer is undefined.

With 0/0, you could try to argue that it is '1', since if the top and bottom are really small and the exact same number, it would be '1'

0.0000000000000000000001 /
0.0000000000000000000001 = 1

However, if the top number is 0, the answer will always be 0.

0 / 0.0000000000000000000001 = 0

Since there is no one answer based on an approximation limit of using the smallest number you can think of as an estimate, 0/0 is still undefined and has no answer.

I got "Not a Number"

Yes, but I determine there is actually more than one answer to the questions.

Answers:

  • 0 (Zero divided by anything by itself is zero.)
  • 1 (Anything divided by itself is one.)
  • Infinity (Anything divided by zero is infinity)

Try it out for yourself!

Anyways, this example determines the rules we should follow and therefore which answer we give.

Nope man!!

Let us wander around the question

If I ask you what is 2/2 then you will confidently say it's 1

If I ask you about 1089/1089, yo answer will be same.

And if I ask you what is 0/10 you would answer it's 0 ofc

Again if I ask you what about 0/1783692, you will answer it is 0 again

From here we can conclude that (any no.)/ (The same no.) always gives 1 and also 0/(any no.) gives 0

So if we consider this question according to first situation, it's obviously 1 (the no.)/(the same no.)= 1

But but but, if we consider it according to the second situation, i.e 0/(anything)= 0 so 0/0 must be 0

From the above two points, we got 0/0=1 and 0/0=0

So 0=1 which is never possible XD

So kind man that's why 0/0 form is called an indeterminate form (one among the 7 others)

Hope it helps :)

Imagine you have 0 cookies. And you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See, it doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies. And you are sad because your friends don’t exist. Wow. This escalated quickly.
