What is 1/Infinity?

Sort:
One_Zeroth

It is infinity/infinity. Which is positive Infinity, any positive real, and 1/infinity.

So it is rather strange, Folks.

Yeah, yea yea!

LIMITS TEND TO DISAGREEMENT. They are the only trustable tool for this type of task

A weirder question is infinity - infinity

zero

If you assume 0, the the equation 1-1 = infinity minus infinity would be true, but then add one to each side, 1+1 = 2, infinity+1 = infinity, so then the equation infinity - infinity = 2-1 or infinity- infinity= 2, so it's equal to every number using that process, so this equation is undefined

Infinity is not a number , it just represents uncountability. It is a concept. So normal numerical algebra cannot be applied to it. So 1/infinity is not 0, It is undefined.

Technically, we can calculate with infinity BUT, we have to do it in limits. Technically speaking, infinity minus infinity is 0 because both the limit of x-x and (the limit of X) minus (the limit of X) are zero

1/infinity is infinitely small, but will never be exactly 0

#12 oh i see. I dont know much about limits so i cant really comment on this😅

Infinity is not a number; it is an indefinite variable. So technically it could be 1.

Btw, you're dealing with high IQ.

Mystersyrious
1/infinity = infinity
Mystersyrious
Yeah could be 1 or 0
Advanced_player1

anything /inifnity is undefined.

the great debate:

0/0=0 0 divided by anything is 0

0/0=1 any number divided by itself is 1

0/0=infinity any number divided by 0 is infinity

I believe it's 0 if you think of division as if

How many divisors can you subtract from the dividend to reach 0? 

As 0 is already at 0, the answer is 0.

yes. Think of infinity as x. x-x is always 0 no matter the value.
