im(POSSIBLE)!!??

when I was in class 7 one of my teachers asked me that if 2=0 possible or not . Obviously the answer that came into my mind was NO! But sirs next words really made me think about how much right my answer is!! He said that he thinks there are no rules in Maths so why it cant be like2/2=0!? Since then i have no idea about sirs solution and i dont know that if it is right or wrong SO PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME??

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Ofcourse, 2/2 = 0! =1 But it has nothing to do with 2 =0 (indeed not true). See 0! is totally different from' 0 the number 'actually. In other words if I explain you the meaning of 0! it would be : the ways of arranging 0 things which is definitely one way i.e. no way. Hence you cannot compare 0 & 0!

Who says there are no rules in maths?

Maths is a subject with rules but no goals.

Philosophy is a subject with goals but no rules.

The simple way -Firstly 2 is not equal to 0 But as your teacher said that there is no rule is maths ...he is heck If you prove 2 = 0 you did like 2 / 2 = 0 This is wrong whenever anything is done in any equation ,It is done in both side.(but why I am talking about this) Ohh sorry.we know 2 * 1 = 2 then,How 2 * 0 = 2 will be...

2 is not equal to 0, but if your teacher was joking then it could be,

2 = 0 (get the average of the 2 numbers) 2 - 1 = 0 - 1 (subtract the average) 1 = -1 (square both sides) 1 = 1

haha, but it really is not possible ;)
