    Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

    Answer: The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.

    Discussion:

    Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

    a/0 = b

    Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

    (a/0) * 0 = b * 0

    Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as "a" is not equal to zero! The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.

    You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.
