'Error: cannot divide by zero'?

>_< I said word. >_< Theres a mathematical word used for this type of error.. I'll give you a hint.. it has "un" at the begining...

UnError?
BMS-IcE-
2002-08-20, 01:26 AM
.... Heres another tip it doesn't have error in it...

Don't say it's Undivisible. Because it's undividedable. I still like Unerror.

well on my other scienctific caculetar it says Ma Error... are you sure you know what the real answer is?

Its Undefined. :P Which means there is no "real" answer

Undefined or Empty Set

No, it is infinity. -0.5/0 is negative infinity. If you're looking for undefined, 0/0 is your man.

it tends to infinity as divisor approachs to 0 but as infinity is Undefined none of u 2 are wrong

How about this then?
There are infinitely many prime numbers, but there are "more" regular numbers. How can there be more of anything when there's an infinite amount?
For instance, each time you double some numbers, say 2222*2=4444, there's at least one prime number between them. What about the other numbers? Inf+1 would still be Inf, but we KNOW that there are more normal numbers. So why doesn't Inf+1 work?
Sirpullido

cuz the number of non prime numbers grow in a higher proportion than the non primes ones so when u "approach" to infinite necesarily there will be more non-prime numbers

non primes - its called "odd"
Hrm..
11 is prime and odd
9 is non prime and odd
What were you going for Knight?
Probably just making himself look like a dumbass, as usual. He doesn't really have to 'go at it'.

Yes 11 is a prime number. As is 2. 1, however, is not. Go Go Senior High School!

1 is divisible by itself and one... but its not considered a prime number.. at least in most cases... for some strange reasons some university books state 1 being a prime number...<<shrugs>>
BlueCube
2002-08-20, 07:20 PM
1 is divisible by itself, which IS 1. There's only one divisor, unlike prime numbers, which have two.
*Shakes Fist*
<Homer's Voice>Stupid 1! Why do you think you're better than everyone else!? "Ooo, look, I'm number 1, and I only have ONE divisor, they're sooo out of style!" Damn non-prime number.</Homer's Voice>

1,itself and 1....In this case, is there any difference between itself and one???????

first post answer .05 / 0 equals .05
Sirpullido

nope. It tends to infinity just divide .05/.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000001 and see how big the number is

.5/0 is a paradox... much like 1/0...
1/0 is illogical. 1/0 is irrational. 1/0 is impossible. 1/0 is transcendentally unfair.
1/0 is true. Deal with it.

1/0 is true. Deal with it. 1/0 is 1, pay attemption, I'll xplain if there's a pear in a table n u have to chop it in 0 pieces cuz u don't have to give any piece to anyone...the pear's still there, so 1/0=1

What happens if you have 0 pears and you want to divide it into one? Huh how bout that smart guy...
Sirpullido

well, first u try to divide the nopear and chop ur dice outta ur hand, after that u starve and die bathed in ur own blood

shouldn't it be zero becasue anything devided into 0 groups would mean the answer is zero becasue their is 0 in 0 groups
:P

couldn't because their are no groups to put .05 into the whole point of deviding is to put things into groups so it would = 0 becasue their is no groups and 0x.05 + 0 and if multiplication is the oppisite of devision so there for .05 รท 0 = 0

If you want to chop it into zero pieces, you can't... it's not possible... there has to be one piece for the pear to exist.

zero
It doesen't have a value. It's not zero. It's not one. It's not set.
