Description: Division by zero is a mathematical error that occurs when attempting to divide a number by zero. In mathematical terms, division is defined as the inverse operation of multiplication. Therefore, if one tries to divide a number ‘a’ by zero, one seeks a number ‘b’ such that ‘b’ multiplied by zero equals ‘a’. However, no such number exists, as any number multiplied by zero always results in zero. This leads to an indeterminate form, meaning that no meaningful value can be assigned to the operation. In computing and programming contexts, this error can arise when executing arithmetic operations, potentially leading to unexpected results or runtime failures. Managing such errors is crucial to ensure data integrity and system stability. Therefore, it is important for developers to properly handle exceptions and validate inputs to prevent division by zero in their applications.
