December's here!

November's gone..it's the final month of year 2008.
Here's what I'm gonna do this month :
  • Family trip!!
  • Read at least 1 motivational book (In process)
  • FORM 4 PREPARATION
  • Update this blog
  • Eat
  • Sleep
  • Bath
  • Keep in touch with friends, family and someone
  • Be grateful

And now..let me share something..

Last night I was chatting with my dad after dinner. We spoke about mathematics. He asked me, how much is this number, 5/1 ( Five over one in fractions ). Of course I'd say its 5. Then he asked me, how much is 5/0?

I started to scratch my head..I never come across this question, is it 5, 0 or 1?? All of them are wrong. It's infinity. Why?

5/1 = 5
5/0.1= 50
5/0.01= 500
5/0.001= 5000
5/0.0000001= 50000000

0.0000001 is still not 0. If I add 10 million more 0's, it's still not 0 and that's gonna be a large sum of number. So, if you say 5/0, what number it's gonna be? Infinity!

Maybe it's kinda boring for you, but..at least I'd share something I've learn. Cheers ^^
