  1. DIVIDING BY 0 - WHY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE [N00b friendly]
  2.  
  3. NEEDED
  4. -Basic understanding of maths
  5. -Experience dividing with numbers lower than 0 (e.g 20/0,5)
  6.  
  7. Every division can be solved using a XY coordinate system. Below, I have drawn an example.
  8. The Y axis shows the number being divided and the Y axis shows the number it's being divided with. The lower the X number gets the higher the Y number rises.

  10. Y
  11. ^ x
  12. I

  18. 40I x 20/1 = 20
  19. I 20/0,5 = 40
  20. I 20/0,25 = 80
  21. I 20/0,1 = 200
  22. 20I x 20/0,0 =
  23. I
  24. I
  25. I---I-----I--------I-------------I-->X
  26. 0 0,1 0,25 0,5 1

  29. As you can see, the closer the X number gets to the Y axis the steeper the curve becomes.
  30. When the X number has reached 0 the curve is so steep that it never comes to an end. It becomes an irrational number (SURD). An irrational number has a unlimeted ammount of decimals and can therefore not be written. (Just like PI π)
