This has created a lot of confusion in the area of Mathematics. What is (5 - 5) ÷ (5 - 5)? Is the answer 0 or 1? Give reasons. A lot of people have used it to prove mathematical inconsistencies like 4 = 5. By saying: 0=0 20-20 = 25-25 5(4)-5(4)= 5(5)-5(5) 4(5-5) = 5(5-5) Dividing both sides by 5-5 4(5-5)÷(5-5)=5(5-5)÷(5-5) 4=5 The problem with this Maths is that, (5-5)÷(5-5) must not be equal to 1. It is equal 0. It had to be equal to 0 so that 4 = 5 will be invalid. Because in the actual sense, 4 is never equal to 5. So, (5-5)÷(5-5) = 0 1 Like |

Two things 1. Zero has no multiplicative inverse so any number divided by zero is undefined. 2. You have to open the bracket before dividing by 5-5.......PEMDAS 1 Like |

redeff06:0/0 = undefined 1. Your initial expression where you derived the answer was inconsistent to begin with. 20-20 != 25-25 at surface value. It's the same as saying x=25. If we inserted the variable x into both side of the expression x-20= x-25. We'll have 25-20 = 25-25 which of course has changed the assignment of the expression. Since your initial statement was wrong, your final answer was also wrong. Since 4!=5 in mathematics then your expression was wrong to begin with 1 Like |

9jaBloke:Sometimes in mathematics we can divide using factorization, let's assume we say Let (5-5) = x 1 Like |
