Question

Find the value of 5 $÷$ 0.

• A. 5
• B. 0.0
• C. 1
• D. Not defined

Answer 1

The correct option is D Not defined

Division is a repeated subtraction.
For example: In $6÷2$ , we subtract 2 from 6 repeatedly till we get zero.
Now, consider $5÷0$
It means that we have to subtract 0 from 5 again and again till we reach 0, this is a never ending process.
So, division of a whole number by 0 is not defined.
