Maths: Practice4-3 Special Quotients; Enrichment 4-3 Analyse This

A quick recap on dividing by zero:

The inverse operation for

n ÷ x = q    is:

q × x = n

so  if         n = 6

and           x = 3

then          q = 2

                 n ÷ x = q

so: if         6 ÷ 3 = 2 , the inverse operation would then be:

  2 × 3 = 6

  q × x = n

BUT if n = 7 and x = 0, as in

  7 ÷ 0

(n ÷ x)  that would suggest that the inverse operation is:

 q × 0 = 7

(q × x = n)

if q = 7, then it would read

7 × 0 = 7, which is false.

Zero cannot divide a number.
