Subject: RE: BS: Paradoxical statements and oxymoronica
...........recall the maths ones when doing 'O' levels aeons ago.
Any whole number divided by itself = 1
so 1/1 = 1
& 0/0 = 1
infinity/infinity = 1
Also indices or 'powers' of numbers,
any number raised to power 0 = 1
so a billion squillion to power/index 0 = 1
& 0 to power 0 = 1
Division:
any number divided by 0 = infinity
1/0 = infinity
Zero divided by anything = 0
except 0/0 = 1
