Division (mathematics) | Mathematical fallacies | Infinity | Mathematical analysis | Computer arithmetic
In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is infinity. In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since infinity 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 infinity" can be given meaning as an informal way of expressing the limit of dividing a number by larger and larger divisors. Using mathematical structures that go beyond the real numbers, it is possible to define numbers that have infinite magnitude yet can still be manipulated in ways much like ordinary arithmetic. For example, on the extended real number line, dividing any real number by infinity yields zero, while in the surreal number system, dividing 1 by the infinite number yields the infinitesimal number . In floating-point arithmetic, any finite number divided by is equal to positive or negative zero if the numerator is finite. Otherwise, the result is NaN. The challenges of providing a rigorous meaning of "division by infinity" are analogous to those of defining division by zero. (Wikipedia).
Definition of infinity In this video, I define the concept of infinity (as used in analysis), and explain what it means for sup(S) to be infinity. In particular, the least upper bound property becomes very elegant to write down. Check out my real numbers playlist: https://www.youtube.co

Can You Define the Immeasurable?
What is infinity? Can you define something that, by definition, has no boundaries? A subject extensively studied by philosophers, mathematicians, and more recently, physicists and cosmologists, infinity still stands as an enigma of the intellectual world. We asked people from all walks of

Extending arithmetic to infinity! | Real numbers and limits Math Foundations 103 | N J Wildberger
We are interested in investigating how to rigorously and carefully extend arithmetic with rational numbers to a wider domain involving the symbol 1/0, represented by a ``sideways 8''. First we have a look at the simpler case of natural number arithmetic, where extending to infinity is re
