Answer to Question #108694 in Algebra for Kashmala

Question

2÷0 is rational or irrational?

Answer 1

Let's assume that 2/0 equals a. Then, as we know, quotient*divisor=dividend In our example it looks like a*0 = 2. However, any number multiplied by zero equals zero itself. Thus, there is no such a that a*0=2.

So, 2/0, which equals to a, is undefined too. The expression 2/0 does not have a meaning. It is neither rational, nor irrational.
