Anything divided by 0 is 0. > Good question to ask Bush and Gore to see who has the right answer. > BTW the answer is INFINITY !! not 0. Actually, that isn't completely correct. The answer is "undefined". The problem is that there is no way to decide if it should be positive infinity or negative infinity. Graph 1/0, for example, and look at both sides of the x-axis. 0/0 is even worse and can "evaluate" to positive infinity, negative infinity, any constant, or even no answer depending on how you look at it!
