Well I am writing this not coz no one knows but coz it will help some who dont know to understand it.
It is said that 1/0 is infinity. Well actually it only tends to infinity and is not exactly infinity, but can safely assumed to be based on the proof.
The proof is simple:
1/(1/10) = 10
1/ (1/100) = 100 note 1/100 < 1/10 and the result increases from 10 to 100
1/ (1/1000) = 1000 …
so on…
The basic understanding that can be derived from here is that as the denominator gets smaller and smaller the value get larger.
Assuming that zero is the smallest possible value possible, 1/0 has to be infinity….
Simple right!!! [:)]
