Say 1/0 = n
That means that 1 = 0n
This can never happen -> undefined.

This happens for every real (and imaginary too) value of n, there is no answer (except when you're taking a limit, but that's a special case)

0/0 can be anything and so is indeterminate, because any number times 0 is 0. However, 1/0 is undefined, since no number times 0 can be 1.
