I personally believe that 1/0 has an infinite answer. Here is my logic:
56/7 is 8 because 56 is 8 times greater than 7.
Another example:
72/8 is 9 because 72 is 9 times greater than 8.
Therefore, 1/0 MUST be an infinite number because 1 is infinitely greater than zero.

What is your opinion on my reasoning? Did I just blow your mind? Did I just win a Nobel Prize in Mathematics? |

dividing any number by zero is infinite in my opinion

nonononononononononononono
You go
We no want you here
The real reason is that fractions are a part over a whole. How can you have 1 part of nothing? You can't. |

0 x infinity =/= 1
However, you've just confirmed that 1/0 is undefined, which has been known for centuries. |

| You can't go messing around with "infinity" like that. Infinity is not a number, it is an undefined non-constant! |

nothing times 0 can equal 1
you've actually just proved nothing. |

Here is an algebraic proof why 1/0 does not equal infinity.
Given two assumptions,
0 x 1 = 0 0 x 2 = 0
The following must be true:
0 x 1 = 0 x 2
Dividing by 0 gives
(0/0) x 1 = (0/0) x 2
According to algebra, if we divide both sides of the equation with the expression (0/0), then we get
1 = 2
Obviously, the aforementioned statement is not correct. Therefore, the divide by 0 function is not possible in math. It's undefined. |

gonna get smart ok gg
In mathematics, division by zero is division where the divisor (denominator) is zero. Such a division can be formally expressed as a/0 where a is the dividend (numerator). In ordinary arithmetic, the expression has no meaning, as there is no number which, multiplied by 0, gives a (assuming a≠0), and so division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 has no defined value and is called an indeterminate form. Historically, one of the earliest recorded references to the mathematical impossibility of assigning a value to a/0 is contained in George Berkeley's criticism of infinitesimal calculus in The Analyst ("ghosts of departed quantities").[1]
There are mathematical structures in which a/0 is defined for some a (see Riemann sphere, real projective line, and section 4 for examples); however, such structures cannot (see below) satisfy every ordinary rule of arithmetic (the field axioms).
In computing, a program error may result from an attempt to divide by zero. Depending on the programming environment and the type of number (e.g. floating point, integer) being divided by zero, it may generate positive or negative infinity by the IEEE 754 floating point standard, generate an exception, generate an error message, cause the program to terminate, or result in a special not-a-number value
