Apparently, there are people who are only interested in reading mathematically flavored fiction if they can do so cheaply and without touching any paper. For those people, I am happy to report that Division by Zero, one of my personal favorites, is available free online (see below)!
DOWNLOAD PDF. Division by Zero By Ted Chiang 1 Dividing a number by zero doesn't produce an infinitely large number as an answer. The reason is that division is defined as the inverse of multiplication; if you divide by zero, and then multiply by zero, you should regain the number you started with. However, multiplying infinity by zero produces ...

In mathematics, division by zero, division where the divisor (denominator) is zero, is a unique and problematic special case. Using fraction notation, the general example can be written as a 0 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {a}{0}}} , where a {\displaystyle a} is the dividend (numerator).
For general background, see Patrick Suppes' Introduction to Logic, Chapter 8, Sections 5 and 7, titled respectively The Problem of Division by Zero and Five Approaches to Division by Zero.
We define division by zero in arithmetic to be splitting a set of objects in to equal pieces. For example if we have \(15\) apples and we want to evenly distribute it to \(3\) people,then by definition of division each student would receive \(\frac{15}{3}=5\) apples each.
