I recently got to know that some questions related to zero doesn't have any answers yet! Brahmagupta, a great mathematician in India, founded the number of zero in the 7th Century, and made many rules when using that number, the results when you add, subtract, and multiply zero by any number. But when it came to DIVIDING a number by zero... Well, he didn't give a solution. Later on Bhaskara, another mathematician in India, stated that zero divided by a number would mean infinity! Well George Berkeley proved that was wrong saying that zero x infinity would mean any number, which i totally agree with. Time passed by, and the answer to that question was to be solved, but it just died out. But there were more questions that came out, what was the result when you divide zero by zero? Normally it's one, but does zero have the same result too? Why is it considered as a real number then? I believe that people are really curious to find the correct answers, including me and you who just read this! So if you have anymore information on my topic, just drop a reply. If not, just share your thoughts below! :)
