Division Involving 0 has Three Possibilities

  1. Zero on top, another # on bottom
    1. 0/7
    2. Zero is the numerator and another number is the denominator
      Item The REAL question Item
      0 / 7 = ? ? + 7 = 0 only 0
  2. Zero on bottom, another # on top
    1. 7/0
    2. Zero is the denominator and another number is the numerator
      Item The REAL question Item
      7/0 = ? ? + 0 = 7 no ℜ exists, undefined
  3. Zero on both top and bottom
    1. 0/0
    2. Zero is both the denominator and the numerator
      Item The REAL question Item
      0 / 0 = ? ? + 0 = 0 all  work, indeterminate
