To see why this is so, consider that 6 /2 = 3
Why?? Because multiplying 3 times the denominator in the fraction (2) gives me the numerator (6)
But what if we have 3 / 0 ??
What can I multiply 0 by to get 3 ??
Answer .... nothing
There is one more special case.... 0 / 0
This is known as an "indeterminate form'
To see why, note that 0 / 0 could equal anything, because multiplying anything by the denominator, (0), would give us the numerator (0).....thus, we can't "determine" what 0 /0 might be equal to !!!
Hope that helps !!!
