Abstract

Brahmagupta introduced zero into the genus of real numbers and discussed operations involving it. Of these the operation of division by zero has caused a lot of disputes among mathematicians. The ultimate aim of this work is to clarify and justify Bhaskara’s arithmetic operation of division by zero and to justifiably demonstrate that the most significant case of division by zero, 1/0, has the infinite number (−1)! as its exact quotient.
