We'll approach this problem using limiting the value of 5 divided by 0 . We very well know that 1 5 = 5 .
Also that 0 . 1 5 = 5 0 , similarily 0 . 0 1 5 = 5 0 0 and 0 . 0 0 1 5 = 5 0 0 0 .
We see that as denominator approaches 0 , we find that the quotient of division approaches a very large number.( ∞ ). Hence we can claim that 5 divided by 0 is undefined.
