Why can you divide zero but can't divide by zero?​

These notes discuss why we cannot divide by 0. The short answer is that 0 has no multiplicative inverse, and any attempt to define a real number as the multiplicative inverse of 0 would result in the contradiction 0 = 1.

If we divide 0 by a number, you will get 0.

Example: 0÷16=0

However, if you try to divide by 0, no one knows what you will get.

Division by 0 is undefined.
