Here's my proof that
0
=
1
.
In which of these steps did I
first
make a flaw in my logic?
Step 1 : Let's establish the following equations first, 0 × 0 × 0 × 0 0 × 0 × 0 = = 0 0
Step 2 : Since both these numbers are equal in value, then their ratio is equal to 1.
0 × 0 × 0 0 × 0 × 0 × 0 = 1
Step 3 : Cancel out common factors:
0 × 0 × 0 0 × 0 × 0 × 0 0 = = 1 1

This is correct! Thankyouuu
The first mistake is in s t e p t w o .
0 × 0 × 0 0 × 0 × 0 × 0 = 1
It must be
0 × 0 × 0 0 × 0 × 0 × 0 = U n d e f i n e d
Note
But why 0 0 Is Undefined ?
Check out this Why 0 0 Is undefined
It's called undefined not undefinite.
Instead of saying that it is undefined, it would be better to explain why it is undefined.
Division by 0 is not defined!
Then, wouldn't step 3 be the first wrong step?

Step 2 says if value of 2 equations are equal their ratio is equal to 1, but that applies to non-zero values of the equations. Also in step 2 by dividing the 2 equations you are considering that
0 0 = 1
Which is totally absurd or wrong, as
0 0
is indeterminate.
