    Can you divide by 0?

    Greetings MMOwned

    I recently released a Shout on the Shoutbawx (if you are not a Donator or Contributor + then, its just like a chatbox for members ), asking people what the Answer of :
    100 Divided by 0 is ( 100/0 ).


    Most people said 0.WRONG!
    Soul Eater said its OVER 9000. GOOD WRONG!
    KuRIoS got it right.... the answer is indeed : ∞ Correct!

    Most of you are probably now going 'WTF?'
    I will explain! :-)

    Stop Wasting Meh Time and get to the Explanation

    Ok... Well, if you divide a number by 1 you get the number :

    500 / 1 = 500

    Well, you should also know that divide by a number that is Less than 1 but greater than 0 then it increases the number :

    500 / 0.5 = 1000
    500 / 0.1 = 5000
    500 / 0.01 = 50000

    Lets see if we can get a trend here : The smaller the denominator the bigger the result.

    500 / 0.1 = 5,000
    500 / 0.01 = 50,000
    500 / 0.001 = 500,000
    500 / 0.0001 = 5,000,000

    So the smaller it gets, the bigger the number.

    So what would make this conclusion also

    500 / 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 = 500 + (the number of ZEROS in the denominator)

    Lets add that information to the data

    500 / 0.1 = 5,000 ( 1 zero in denominator ) = 500 + 1 zero ( 5,000 )
    500 / 0.01 = 50,000 ( 2 zeros in denominator ) = 500 + 2 zeros ( 50,000 )
    500 / 0.001 = 500,000 ( 3 zeros in denominator ) = 500 + 3 zeros ( 500,000 )
    500 / 0.0001 = 5,000,000 ( 4 zeros in denominator ) = 500 + 4 zeros ( 5,000,000 )

    Using this, we can say that 0 is 0.0000000000...... which is 0.0 (AND INFINITE ZEROS)

    So it would be :

    500 / 0 = ∞ ( ∞ zeros in denominator ) = 500 + ∞ zeros ( ∞ )


    So n / 0 = ∞

    Can you divide by 0?

    ∞ = 0. thats the fact.

    So using the Rearranging the formula rule. Bringing 0 and ∞ to the other side would require you to times all sides by 0 and ∞

    Making

    (1/∞)*∞*0 = ∞

    Making The ∞'s cancel out leaving 1/(1*0) = ∞

    Final product :

    1/0 = ∞

    I'm impressed; I gave up on this question after 30 seconds of solid thinking (a new record :O)

    In order for the number of zeros to matter, there'd have to be a number other than 0 somewhere along the infinite number of zeros (Otherwise you'd be doing nothing) (Edit: In actuality, there's an infinite number of zeros after any number in decimal form, but of course, we don't write them, unless we have a lot of room and another number somewhere after a bunch of zeros, and only then does it affect the number is dividing/etc.). Meaning it wouldn't be infinite.

    Also, infinity multiplied by zero would be zero. Same goes for anything else you multiply by zero. Because you have zero infinities, therefore, you have none / 0.

    Also;
