Can You Divide Infinity by Zero?

We don’t ‘divide by infinity’ because infinity is not really a number. … Regardless of what large number we’re dividing by our answer is 0 and by letting this large number increase (as much as we please, tending to infinity) the answer is still 0. Thus the ‘answer’ to your question is 0.

What is the result of infinity divided by zero?

-infinity/0- = + infinity. If you are thinking of only one infinity, where the line appears more like a circle closing up to a single infinity from both ‘ends’, then there is only one infinity (+infinity= -infinity) and infinity/0 = infinity.

Is it possible to divide by infinity?

Any number divided by infinity is equal to 0.

It is well known that you cannot divide a number by zero. Math teachers write, for example, 24 ÷ 0 = undefined. They use analogies to convince students that it is impossible and meaningless, that “you cannot divide something by nothing.” Yet we also learn that we can multiply by zero, add zero, and subtract zero.
