Zero. Anything you multiply with zero becomes zero.

I think infinite*0 is undefined. A line of any length has infinite points and each of those points have 0 length(One of Euclid's first defenitions) so 0*infinite can be anyhting. beause a line of 33 length or 23 length has infinite amount of points having zero length each.

I already started a thread concerning this entitled 'deividing by zero':
dividing by zero

Well, what answer would you like?

Assume an equation, (X)*(Y) / (X)

Assume any value for Y.
Now let the value for X be an infinitesimal, e, and let e go to zero.

Obviously, the equation as a whole goes to zero/zero.

But the ratio always remains Y, no matter how small e gets.

Therefore, zero/zero is: Achtung! Verboten!

If (inf)*0=0,then,
((inf)*0)/0=1.
How much is the correctness of this eqn?

Hmmm... none at all.

(inf)*0 = 0
(inf) = 0/0 ---> undefined, meaningless, math melt-down, unusable, without valid interpretation, having no logical existence, non-rational, inconceivable, philosophical null, wrong! BAD! BAD! BAD!

Tormod! Put your fingers here for a good rapping!

Multiplying anthing finite by 0 gives zero. Infinity times zero is an indeterminae expression and so is 0/0.

33*0 = 0 and

729*0 = 0

Therefore:

0/0 = 33 and
0/0 = 729

also 0/0 = 81427381

and whatever.....

For further info, look up the name Guillaume François Antoine Marquis de L'Hôpital.
