Decimals Question

[Catseye]

I you ever you divides by zero ...... that way lies contradiction and absurdity.

Whenever you're equations start to generate infinities you are at singularity ( big bang-black holes) no theory or mathematics can make sense of it .

My maths is correct !

The assumption is where the fallacy lies.

btw, I never divide by zero you could set it to zero but that's a different matter !

[Surferfish]

You started off saying a = b.

Therefore (a - b) must be zero, so you can't divide by it, otherwise you'll get a big old black hole, as you say...

Correct the the assumption is the fallacy but why?

Excellent deduction, spot on.

But there is more a general rule when trying use variables to formulate proof or theorems .

Different type of methods of proof are required .
