If A/B=C, does C*B (always)=A?


If A/B=C

ex. 10/5=2

Does C*B (always)=A?

ex. 2*5=10

I know this is a common "presumption" but is there an actual mathematical law which says so?

The reason I ask is that someones pointed out that, atleast on a calc.

10/0=infinity

and therefore infinity * 0 should equal something instead of 0

So I'm believeing that the above is just a presumption and not an actual mathematical law. Is it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is actually for an argument I'm having on philosophy.

Looking in your guest book, half the posts say you're gay. I understand you trying to hide it by publically trying to sleep with me but come on, we're all friends, we'll accept your "alternative lifestyle". I'll give ya a hug though :)

Ouch!!!! thats tough Abdiel

btw in your problem a/b = c

Yes it will always happen if a/b = c then c * b = a

In a division in a away you are always asking how many times the divisor (b) will go into the dividend (a) and that number is the quotient (c)

hope i helped any.

Thank you Ultimate, hugs! How would you explain it with the 0 and infinity though? Unless any given number divided by zero does not equal infinity??

Okay, apparently X/0 does not equal infinity, it's actually undefined

Okay, apparently X/0 does not equal infinity, it's actually undefined

x/0 is undefined, but x/a where a aproaches 0 is infinity. a becomes infinitissimally small then x/a becomes infinitely large. Try some examples. 1/1=1, 1/.1=10, 1/.01=100, 1/.001=1000,...,1/.000000000001=10000000000 and so on. Note that as the denominator approaches 0 but never really becoming zero, the quotient becomes larger ang larger. This is the main idea of the epsilon-delta definition of a limit which says.... never mind....I might be confusing you but you may ask your next question...hehehehe.... :D

Its a law. Yes A will alwyas be = to B*C.

You can't use 10/0 = infinity as 10/0 is undefined. If you wanan take it literally like that you can say what if 10/x->0, x being a number approaching zero closer and closer (really small). 10/x->0 would give you a really big number. That same really big number if you multiply that again by x which is a really small number would give you 10.

u cannot divide by zero because the denominator is undefined

Letters i math ****ing sucks.

Math is supposed to be numbers.

But im done with math, and aint going to have another math test in my life . :)
