I don't know why people say "maths". It's math.

I don't know why people spell color like so. It's colour.

You didn't mention anything mathematical in your quote so don't be a hypocrite.

AND THE ANSWER..... *drum roll*

Well, there is reasoning for all of the answers.

It could be negative/positive infinity, because anything divided by zero is undefined.

It could be zero, because zero/anything is zero.

It could be 1 because anything over itself is 1.

It could be undefined because, as we all know, dividing by 0 causes black holes and such.


So it is, in fact, anything. Partly because reasoning for any answer works, and partly because:

0/0 = x

0 times x = 0

In other words, what can you multiply by zero to give zero? Anything.

Well, this was fun. It's been a reeeeaally long afternoon...
