    You'll never understand why that statement makes you look such a fool.

    I might be using wrong term "limit" in this context - that's the term that was used in our Soviet Uni.

    Also, should you ever be fortunate enough to have another life, then try your best to study in some good Uni where they'll teach you some fairly basic mathemtical concepts such as "limits".
    Still not getting the "10" part. Why 10 rather than 1? Sorry, was looking for the facts not the trick Not bad actually. But on the serious side...

    I did a maths/physics at a good university. Sadly they focused on actual mathematics and limits rather than high-school "1 divided by 0 equals infinity".
    Unlike economics, maths is the domain of hard facts so you might like to quite before everyone else finds this thread in the morning.

    X/0 does not equal infinity. That's a senseless statement.

    Also, what did 10/0 have to do with what HAB posted, I didn't see what point you were trying to make without the accompanying entire pasted copy of the Daily Mail.

    Exactly. As the divisor tends to zero ........

    This may help you.
