Except 0 / n
- phoe-krk 3y agoOr -0.0 / n, for what it's worth, at which point these zeroes will not be equal to one another.
- recursive 3y agoOr 1e-100 / 1e300
- Dylan16807 3y agoPlease refer back to "It's clear that neither the two quantities are 0 (no division can produce a result that is exactly zero!) but they approach the zero." because you just gave an example of how that rule is correct, not an exception.
- alerighi 3y agoOk, I should have specified unless the numerator is not exactly zero!
