Infinity is not a number. Zero and infinity are different types of mathematical object, so this kind of operation is a category error. You may as well ask what a banana divided by the color blue is equal to. Maybe some brilliant mathematical thinker of the caliber of Ramanujan will find a specialized sense in which such an operation can be treated as having some meaning, such as his bizarre assignment of definite values to divergent series, i.e.
1 + 2 + 3.... = -1/12
Yes, where 1 = 0.
2+2=5 or you are racist
Heck, even an old racist like me knows that 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.
No. Its still zero.
Indeed
In common core math, anything is possible.
It's any number you like given that infinity is a concept not a number.
If I divide one by a Forest do I get skoda?
Which cardinality?
Nothing divided by everything equals
Infinity is zero divided.
1/0 is infinity but 0/1 is zero so should inifinity/zero not be one?
1 / 0 is not infinity because you can't divide by zero. The result only approaches infinity as the denominator approaches zero eg 1/1=1, 1/0.1=10, 1/0.01=100, 1/0.001=1000 etc.
