Division by zero is an operation for which you cannot find an answer, so it is disallowed. You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related. 10 divided by 5 is 2 because 5 times 2 is 10 10 divided by 0 is x would mean that 0 times x = 10 But...

Division by zero is an operation for which you cannot find an answer, so it is disallowed. You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related. 10 divided by 5 is 2 because 5 times 2 is 10 10 divided by 0 is x would mean that 0 times x = 10 But no value would work for x because 0 times any number is 0. So division by zero doesn't work. Actually , An indeterminate form does not mean that the limit is non-existent or cannot be determined, but rather that the properties of its limits are not valid.

0/0 takes values based on the context and thus is indeterminate in general. It is not undefined. It has definition like in limits. This means one can't associate a value with it in one context and use the same value in another context. Thus it is indeterminate. E.g:- value of 2/3 is always the same...

That is not the case with 0/0. read less

The most common example of an indeterminate form occurs as the ratio of two functions, in which both of these functions tend to zero in the limit, and is referred to as "the indeterminate form 0/0". As x approaches 0, the ratios x/x3, x/x, and x2/x go to ?, 1, and 0 respectively.

From calculus point of view there is no specific limit for such form so it is undefined.

The most common example of an indeterminate form occurs as the ratio of two functions, in which both of these functions tend to zero in the limit, and is referred to as "the indeterminate form 0/0". As x approaches 0, the ratios x/x3, x/x, and x2/x go to ?, 1, and 0 respectively. In each case, if the limits of the numerator and denominator are substituted, the resulting expression is 0/0, which is undefined. So, in a manner of speaking, 0/0 can take on the values 0, 1 or ?, and it is possible to construct similar examples for which the limit is any particular value. More formally, the fact that the functions f(x) and g(x) both approach 0 as x approaches some limit point c is not enough information to evaluate the limit \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}. \! read less

Indeterminate form In calculus and other branches of mathematical analysis, limits involving algebraic operations are often performed by replacing subexpressions by their limits; if the expression obtained after this substitution does not give enough information to determine the original limit, it...

Indeterminate form In calculus and other branches of mathematical analysis, limits involving algebraic operations are often performed by replacing subexpressions by their limits; if the expression obtained after this substitution does not give enough information to determine the original limit, it is known as an indeterminate form. The term was originally introduced by Cauchy's student Moigno in the middle of the 19th century. The most common indeterminate forms are denoted 0/0, ?/?, 0 × ?, ? ? ?, 00, 1? and ?0. read less

Let 0/0=k Or (0/0) 0 =k*0 Or 0=k*0 Here k can be any number we can't define it. Therefore k =0/0 is indeterminate form.

In the case of 0/0 we typically think of a fraction that has a numerator of zero as being zero.
