I am not a mathematician, so I will basically summarize the argument taking place in a thread at WebmasterWorld named Google caculator 1 / 0 = 0?!. Basically, the thread creator said he did a search in Google for 1 / 0 and received the Google Calculator result that read:
![]() | 1 / 0 = 0 |
The member said, "anything / 0 = undefined" and not = to 0. Others say that zero is close enough. I have no opinion.

It's not all bad. (-1)! produces no results, ln(0) produces no results, and (-1)^.5 gives i. So, it's pretty fair!!!

1/0 = Infinity ... but when we have to answer in numeric values 0 is the best answer ... Why dont you discuss with some real mathematicians at http://www.cvdump.com

Another thing, isn't tan (90 degrees) = infinity? The answer the calculator gives is 1.63317787 × 10^16, which perhaps is a large enough number to = to tan 90?

If you query google for 0^0 the answer is 0. I thinks is another wrong answer.

Well, 1/0 = infinity Its not close to 0 Its the largest number you can ever imagine. The largest number exiting Think of it this way, 1/1 = 1 1/0.1 = 10 1/.00001 = 100 000 So as you move towards 0, the result keeps increasing till you get to infinity - the largest number

Google calculator calculates sine and cosine incorrectly. Haven't checked any other function.

For trignomentric calculations try the arguments in radians..For example 45 degress as pi/4.

The google calculator is in radians for sine cosine and tangent, and to ifeanyl, infinity is not a number. It is a word that means never ending. It's not a really big number.

typed into google 10 mph * 10 mph = responce (10 mph) * 10 mph = 19.9844762 m2 / s2 (the m = meters) there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour 10 mph / 3600 seconds = 0.0027 miles per second 0.0027 mp second * 0.0027 mp second = 0.00000729 square mps 19 meters alone is way too high , but squaring the 19 meters gets you 361 meters per second if we square the 3600 seconds the way the responce says it becomes 12960000 seconds catch a grip programmers your causing me grief
