In your opinion, how many numbers are divisible by the amount of numbers that are divisible by 1?

"that are divisible by 1"*

Just correcting that.

blame chrome for thinking that wasn't a valid word

What's divisible

[weaver123]

Infinite.
Because every number is divisible by one.

[KoopaScooper]

With or without going past the decimal point?

[Port]

Infinite.
Because every number is divisible by one.

Was the question "how many numbers are divisible by 1"?

[Aware]

Every real number is divisible by every real number, as long as you aren't dividing by zero.

So it can't be infinite because zero is divisible by 1 but you can't divide by zero

A math question can't have opinions for answers. :/

Basically, it was.
There are infinite numbers divisible by one, and there are infinite numbers divisible by infinity.

But zero is divisible by 1, and you can't divide by zero.

How is zero divisible by one?

EDIT: I might be dumb.

EDIT: Do the quotients have to be integers?

It is zero.

But zero is divisible by 1, and you can't divide by zero.

Zero is an indeterminate form, it's just nothing. It's a lack thereof a number.
It's like saying pure black is a color. It isn't, it's nothing. You can only tell it is there because of it's surroundings. It can't be seen.
Zero isn't a part of this equation.

Yes, mathematically, this is true, but opinions in this case are the answers of many people.

So just think: Opinion=Answer (in that person's logic/thinking, anyhow).


Anyways, what I think the answer is, is none. No number can be divided by the infinite number of numbers divided by 1. (Except zero, in this case, but let's ignore that nasty number for now because that would ultimately complicate things immensely).

It is mentally impossible to think of "infinity" because it is, well, INFINITY. Therefore, nothing can be divided by it.

If there is someone who can correct me if I'm wrong, please do.

EDIT: - So apparently I'm wrong but okay. Just ignore this :(
