Abstract

In this paper, an attempt is made to include division by zero in ordinary arithmetic. Counting or measuring is done to get the value of multiples, powers, quotients, sums and differences of zeros. Zero divided by zero is taken to be equal to one. There are many infinities and many zeroes. The biggest of all infinities cannot be imagined and the smallest zero cannot be imagined also. An attempt is made to define a mathematical structure from the set of real numbers, zeros and infinities. Some fallacies have been resolved, implications of allowing of division by zero on the quadratic equation where 𝑎 = 0 is discussed and Newton's law of gravity and light deflection by gravity is also discussed.
实数和复数算术中的除零及其含义
本文尝试在普通算术中加入除零。计数或测量是为了得到倍数、幂、商、和和零之差的值。0除以0等于1。有很多无穷大和很多零。最大的无穷大是无法想象的,最小的零也是无法想象的。试图从实数、零和无穷大的集合中定义一个数学结构。解决了一些谬误,讨论了在𝑎= 0的二次方程上允许除零的含义,并讨论了牛顿万有引力定律和重力引起的光偏转。
