What Happens if you Divide by Zero on Different Calculators?

Linux users 👇

I remember a MC Alpha Redstone creation, the calculator there, if you'd do 0/0 the whole thing would explode! :P

me yesterday: Imma go to sleep at 10pm me at 3 am:

For anyone who thinks that 1/0 is 0 or 1, let's do some real-world examples. Let's start with a normal division, so you can see what I mean. Let's do 10/2=5. Let's say something travels 10 meters in 2 seconds, that means that it is travailing at 5 m/s because 10/2=5. Another way to look at this is; how far does it travel in 1 second? Well the answer is 5 meters. So now let's take the same example, but with 1/0. Let's say something travels 1 meter in 0 seconds. How fast is it travailing? Well there isn't really a proper answer to this apart from infinity, if something has traveled 1 meter in 0 seconds, then it has effectively teleported, so it's speed is infinite (which isn't possible in the real universe, since the speed limit is ~300 Mm/s). So if you look at it another way; how far does it travel in 1 second, if it travels 1 meter in 0 seconds? Well it will travel an infinite distance in any non-zero amount of time. To see how 0/0 differs from 1/0, let's take another real-world example. Let's say something travels 0 meters in 0 seconds. Well anything traveling at any finite speed will travel 0 meters in 0 seconds. So the speed could be 0 m/s, but it could also be 1 m/s, or 500 m/s, or any speed. So how far does it travel in 1 second? Well we don't know because the fact that it has traveled 0 meters in 0 seconds doesn't tell us how fast it is traveling, so any answer could be correct (apart from infinity). So 0/0 is undefined. I did another video similar to this one where I divided 0 by 0 on different calculators, and many of them displayed different results to 1/0: https://youtu.be/waDfe1-ZvDY

0/0 irl : nothing happens and just says "Error" 0/0 in cartoons : NUCLEAR EXPLOSION

I just watched 8 minutes of this guy typing 1 ÷ 0 into almost every calculator. And I loved it.

Time to explain some misconceptions in the comment sections: First off, showing infinity as an answer is just another simpler way of saying Error. In the scenarios where it somehow isn’t a error, it means every single answer would be correct. Secondly, the problem with square root of -1 = X (called problem A) 1/0 = X (called problem B) have different issues regarding them. Problem A has no Real number capable of solving it, but there’s no fundamental issues with the equation Problem B suffers from 2 contradictory statements being 0X = 1 which is the equation we’re dealing with and 0X = 0 which is the basic definition of 0. This is why 1/0 is a error, because 0 is the only number that will find the same answer regardless of what you multiply it with.

Windows: cannot divide by zero 🥺 Ubuntu: Division by zero is undefined 🧐🍷

imagine installing a lot of operating systems just for divide a number by zero

Actually in many programming languages (ie Java) it makes a big difference whether you divide integers or floating point numbers by zero. Integers will cause an exception, while floats will produce positive/ negative infinity. This is defined by a norm of the IEEE, and can cause a lot of confusion

everyone else: error can't divide by 0 windows 98: ERROR POSITIVE INFINITY

I'll turn 20 in 1 week, I have no idea for future and I'm watching what happens if you divide by zero on different calculators.

Ah yes gotta love when ypur school forces you to buy a texas intstrument ti-83/84 for 120$ when literally every machine has a calculator provided for free that you're not allowed to use

To check whether the division is performed correctly, you need to multiply the quotient by the divisor. With 1/0, any number multiplied by 0 will be 0, so such an expression has no solution

Any other calculator: 0, infinity, cannot divide by zero, error) ALCATEL: E

I love how android's calculator just simply gives up and says ∞ Edit: Tysm for all the likes but my notifications are getting spammed with this one comment
