division by infinity
Definition
-
In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is ∞. In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since ∞ is a mathematical concept that does not correspond to a specific number, and moreover, there is no nonzero real number that, when added to itself an infinite number of times, gives a finite number. However, "dividing by ∞“ can be given meaning as an informal way of expressing the limit of dividing a number by larger and larger divisors.
