Google.Calc.Infinity
April 25th, 2005 · by David Bradley
Google’s “calculator” reckons 1 divided by 0 equals 0, which is, of course, technically bollocks.
Apple Macs, on the other hand, tell you the answer is “infinity”, which is slightly less wrong, but mathematical bollocks just the same. Windows XP, however, simply states “Cannot divide by zero”. So, for once in it’s life and just ahead of 64-bit Windows, MS is as close to the right answer as you can get.
Much to its chagrin, Google does the same for 0 divided by 0 offering the answer 0, thankfully it gets most other calculations right, but who on earth actually use Google for doing sums?
