I understand that proper mathematical behavior would be that as 0/0 is mathematically undefined that 0/0 cannot be even compared to 1.

My understanding is that common mathematical practice is that comparing an undefined value to anything (including itself) always yields false; "x /= x" is sometimes used to formalize "x is undefined."

In Mathematics one usually avoids comparing undefined values. If one does the result is undefined, too, of course. IOW, the whole calculation is worthless scribble. Cheers Ben
