Question

State true or false.
\[0 \div \left( { - 7} \right) = 0\]
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Hint: Here we will divide 0 by \[\left( { - 7} \right)\] and check whether it comes out to be 0 or not. If it comes out to be zero then the given statement is true otherwise it is false.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Since we know that zero when divided by any integer gives zero as the result.
And also since \[\left( { - 7} \right)\] is an integer
So, when zero gets divided by \[\left( { - 7} \right)\] will give zero.
i,e. \[0 \div \left( { - 7} \right) = 0\]
Hence the given statement is true.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Additional Information:
Here are some properties of zero:-
*Zero is the only number which is neither positive nor negative.
*Zero is an even number.
*Zero when multiplied with any number gives zero only.
*No number can be divided by zero.
*Zero on getting divided by any number gives zero
*Any number raised to the power of zero gives one as the answer.
*Zero is not a prime number.

Note: Students should take note that zero when divided by any integer except zero itself gives zero as the result.
When zero is divided by zero it is then undefined.
