It does not. If you enforce 0/0=1, then you end up in a situation where you can prove any two numbers are equal to each other and you end up with a useless system, so we do not allow for that.

e.g. 0=0*2 -> 0/0 = (0/0)2 -> 1=12 -> 1=2

If you get into calculus though, you’ll have ways to deal with this to some extent using limits.

Quick tip, Markdown treats * specially so you need to escape it like so: *

Thanks. I already fixed it, but it seems Lemmy is just slow to propagate edits.

Spzi ,

I see you replace two “0” with a “0/0”, but why that? Since you assume it equals 1, why do you replace it for 0?

howrar ,

I’m dividing both sides by 0.

Spzi ,

Ah, yes. Normally not allowed because undefined, but here you define it as 1. Alright, thanks.
