Equals infinity?
Or eight?
Existence is a paradox. It just is.

It's undefined.

It works that way because you see math isn't real and never will be. It's just a made up consistent system, that is really nifty for communicating concepts.
You could choose any consistent system and have it be your "math" system if you wanted to, humans just choose what we now see as math.
Personally I hold the belief that if you believe math is "real", you've been brain washed by the education system in a very unfortunate way. Math is also a lot easier to understand after you realize it's not real.
Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

If math wasn't real, then how are you posting your opinions on a fancy calculator? That's all a computer is, is a big fancy calculator. Nothing more.

I just tried to do it and it summoned my third grade math teacher, who promptly kneecapped me in retaliation. I don't recommend it.
Who cares? "Yo guys that meal was free, but how much is it going to call us each?", "Hmm, what's 6 divided by 0?", "Damn, should've paid more attention at school".
We're all Geniuses. Most of us just don't know it.
In programming, mathematics, and physics, it's quite a bit more complex. It actually takes quite a bit of work, to produce a complex algorithm that doesn't end up dividing by 0. You really have to know what you're doing to avoid that situation.

hello there
Yes a bunch of math that conviently represents current on the base of transistor which allows it to be conductive or not, Millions of times over ofcourse to create an Integrated circuit. In otherwards a representation and INSANELY simple representation of current flow through a transistor, which is further represented SOOO very many times over so an engineer can work in a system that has trillions of individual pieces(transistors and resistors represented by gates, combinations of Gates represent simple functions, those functions create a larger functions over and over till you see a CPU).
Which fed by a stack which is actually a charge held by the capacitance of a MOSFET transistor or a flip flop(which is actually several transistors with feed back), also hundreds of thousand times over to create another IC.
The stack which is represented by bits(charge on the transistor or flip flop output), which is represented by OpCodes which is represented by assembler, which a bunch of programmers decided they didn't like the look of so they decided to make other programming langauges to further represent how you build the stack.
Then a bunch of programmers decided they could do better by creating this nifty thing called the operating system. Which allows programs to access simplified representations of hardware, system functions(like time), and manages how all those programs work on the same system.

In otherwards, still not "real" math. Just electrons flowing around because they act freaky but predictably at N and P junctions, which can be easily manipulated by biasing the junctions. And a system that no person on earth can stop learning something new about everyday of their life.
