    Property of 0 Any number multiplied by 0 is 0. This is known as the zero property of multiplication: [26] = Negation −1 times any number is equal to the additive inverse of that number: = (), where () + = −1 times −1 is 1:

  3. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero. In 830, Mahāvīra unsuccessfully tried to correct the mistake Brahmagupta made in his book Ganita Sara Samgraha: "A number remains unchanged when divided by zero ...

  4. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

    Zero's bit reversal is still zero; it can be divided by 2 any number of times, and its binary expansion does not contain any 1s, so it always comes first. [29] Although 0 is divisible by 2 more times than any other number, it is not straightforward to quantify exactly how many times that is.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    The predecessor of a natural number (excluding zero) is the previous natural number and is the result of subtracting one from that number. For example, the successor of zero is one, and the predecessor of eleven is ten ( 0 + 1 = 1 {\displaystyle 0+1=1} and 11 − 1 = 10 {\displaystyle 11-1=10} ).

  6. Zero-product property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-product_property

    A ring in which the zero-product property holds is called a domain. A commutative domain with a multiplicative identity element is called an integral domain. Any field is an integral domain; in fact, any subring of a field is an integral domain (as long as it contains 1). Similarly, any subring of a skew field is a domain. Thus, the zero ...

  7. Mathematical fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_fallacy

    The division-by-zero fallacy has many variants. The following example uses a disguised division by zero to "prove" that 2 = 1, but can be modified to prove that any number equals any other number. Let a and b be equal, nonzero quantities = Multiply by a = Subtract b 2

  9. Division by infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_infinity

    The hyperbola = /.As approaches ∞, approaches 0.. In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is ∞.In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since ∞ is a mathematical concept that does not correspond to a specific number, and moreover, there is no nonzero real number that, when added to itself an infinite number of times ...
