volume_mute

When we try to find the quotient of 2 divided by 0, we look for a number that when multiplied by 0 gives 2. Since no such number exists, we say that division by 0 is undefined. In contrast, zero divided by any nonzero number is always 0.

Correct Answer

undefined

Explanation

Division by 0 is undefined — there is no quotient. This is different from 0 being the dividend, which always gives a result of 0.
