We'll approach this problem using limiting the value of 5 5 divided by 0 0 . We very well know that 5 1 = 5 \dfrac{5}{1} = 5 .

Also that 5 0.1 = 50 \dfrac{5}{0.1} = 50 , similarily 5 0.01 = 500 \dfrac{5}{0.01} = 500 and 5 0.001 = 5000 \dfrac{5}{0.001} = 5000 .

We see that as denominator approaches 0 0 , we find that the quotient of division approaches a very large number.( \infty ). Hence we can claim that 5 5 divided by 0 0 is undefined.
