# WHY /0?
(I helped save b3ta! Ttssattsr, Thu 31 Jan 2008, 16:42, archived)
# because
O in roman numerals = 0

(but not used in the same way as our numerals)

# no, it's technically undefined
but the limit of x/n as n tends to zero is a definition of infinity

# Depends what division means.
If x/y means distributing x into y groups and measuring the size of a group, then x/0 means distributing x into zero groups, in other words doing nothing, so the answer could be zero. If x/y means counting how many times you can subtract y from x, the answer is infinity.
Edit: also, if 50/0 = infinity, infinity * 0 = 50 ... or any other number.

# your first case
would result in "undefined". doing nothing isn't the same as having a well-defined answer of zero.

edit: and since infinity isn't actually a number your second point is not true
