According to the Division with 0 rules, what is the result of dividing any nonzero integer by 0?
Correct Answer
Undefined
Explanation
Rule 2: Division of any nonzero integer by 0 is undefined.
The related multiplication statement shows why: if \(\frac{-2}{0} = ?\), then \(? \times 0 = -2\). No number multiplied by 0 can ever equal \(-2\), so there is no quotient.
