Divide by zero
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Divide by zero is yet another meme from the kind pedophiles at 4chan. It is said to be highly dangerous, containing the power to open up black holes, rend time, space, and mathematics to pieces and even cause the Philadelphia Phillies to win the world series (lulz they did!). It causes dozens of people to post either retarded reasons why you cannot divide by zero (which are usually wrong), or extremely retarded reasons why you can actually divide by zero. These /b/tards have not realized that the whole of mathematics and reality is against them. It is also a fantastic way to generate drama amongst numerophiliac aspies on the Slashdot forums. Most of the time, Divide by zero will be used by little children who just got into high school, discovered the internet, and now think that Divide by zero is original and hilarious.
The common phrase is usually "I divided by zero. OSHII--".
Maybe this is how candlejack makes people disap
Theories and Conjecture
Contrary to popular belief, dividing a constant by zero does not equal infinity, except in regards to limits. While some argue that dividing by zero is both impossible and meaningless, there are still others who believe it to be possible. Regardless of the possibility of division by zero, one consensus can be reached; if anyone were to ever complete this mathematical computation, universe ending paradox would ensue destroying anything and everything.
Division itself has features of a tangent function, but works in the opposite direction. Division by zero is the point at which the result is both everything and nothing, just like tan90. It is shown in this picture.
Sometimes, catastrophic events can happen when you even only THINK about dividing by zero:
:<RichLow> CAN YOU DIVIDE BY ZERO???
:<kardus> yes
:<kardus> watch
:<Not_Sir_Compuret_of_Computron> Yes.
:<kardus> OH SHI--

The invention of Nullity to solve 1/0 = ? has generated a wave of new numbers, all of which are useful for the good of mankind. For example, Pi is no longer equal to 3.14159265358979323 and so on. Rather, it is now equal to Eleventeen. Successfully dividing by zero results in excessive undirects, and often indirects, and occasionally redirects.
It is common knowledge that Kari Byron of the Mythbusters died on June 16, 2007 while attempting to divide by zero. It is also common knowledge that Mythbusters and mathematicians are idiots.
Some argue that our universe, and the big bang that started it all, might be the result of an individual in an alternate universe who divided by zero.
By studying the image righthand, we can tell that division by zero makes logical sense only if "a" is equal to zero.

UPDATE!!!
As of the 17th of March, 2008, teh band of /b/rothers, much like the scientists that came up with The Bomb, have stumbled across an idea that will change the world. The general concept starts with the unflinching rule of Rule 34. Due to the fact that 1 solution can be blown off as a fluke, these /b/rothers came up with a theory and concept which, so far, is yet to be proven wrong.
The application of Rule 34 can easily explain how to divide by zero if used correctly. The normal equation 1/0=? will come up with the answer "cannot divide by zero". The modified equation uses variables:
1 = Jessica Alba
0 = the amount of porn containing the first variable
The result is the amount of porn containing Jessica Alba. This leaves the following equation:
1/0 = ?
Because of Rule 34 the result is automatically changed to one leaving us with:
1/0 = Implosion of the entire universe
HOLY SHIT!! The new Wolfram Alpha everyone has been talking about CAN DIVIDE BY ZERO! What the fuck is "complex infinity"?!?!?! [1] "ComplexInfinity represents a quantity with infinite magnitude, but undetermined complex phase."

Division by Zero Possible?
Any number divided by zero should result in end of universe.
X/0=.....
O SHI-
(This, of course, is debatable, as the content of this article has contained division by zero at least 10 times already, and we aren't all dead yet...)
an interesting result is if you divide 0 by 0, then
0/0=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...,over 9000, positive infinity, negative infinity, 3i+1 and all other numbers both real and imaginary
FUCKING SWEET, PUT ON HOME WORK ALWAYS RIGHT!!!
Division by zero will always create a contradiction
| New and improved proof! |
To see the most simple example, we begin with:
A/B = C
Now, we choose B to be equal to 0, and A will be equal to 3 as in the Trinity (any non zero number). C will be left undefined, as its value does not matter. Our equation now reads:
3/0 = C
A/B = C can be rewritten as:
A = B*C
Plugging in our variables, we get:
3 = 0*C
3 = 0
The rearrangement was needed to avoid having to deal with the indeterminate.
As proven, any time a division by zero happens, a contradiction will always be formed. This means you may not divide by zero, as it will always create something that is untrue.
Indeterminate
The exception to the rule of dividing by zero yielding a contradiction is zero divide by zero. This is of the form called "indeterminate." It is called this because it 0/0 falls under two different mathematical rules. The two rules are:
a/a = 1
and
0/a = 0
0/0 is under both of those. Since neither has precedence over the other, we call 0/0 indeterminate. The indeterminate family has many other members, such as infinity / infinity. To be a member of this family, two different rules must apply to the same equation.
Actual Mathematical Approach to Dividing by Zero
0/5 = 0 5/0 = undefined (It just doesn't fucking exist!) 0/0 = indeterminate
Non-Mathematical Approach to Dividing by Zero
When you divide a shape into 4 you add 2 lines through the middle (adding to the outline). Divide by 2, 1 line. Divide by 1 no lines. Divide by 0, no outline. In other words, the confines of reality within the shape, cease to be, and the actual value is everything together, which would lead one to suggest that it's infinity, but it's not, retard, it's the biggest number possible (one which we don't know).
An Exception
