0/0 is undefined because everything would be a valid result. 0/0 is basically finding solutions for 0*x=0 and everything you put into x would satisfy the equation.
Thank you! I’ve always wondered what the answer would be and why. 0 divided by a number is 0. A number divided by itself is 1. A number divided by 0 is undefined. I never knew which one took precedence and why
This doesn’t clearly identify a problem IMO. Division by a number is defined as multiplication by the multiplicative inverse, and 0 has no multiplicative inverse because 0x = 1 has no solutions.

It should be 0/2 because out of the 2 things, they have 0.
