There is no solution

Explanation:

When you write ab you are looking for a third number c such that c⋅b=a. Is the case 123=4 because 4⋅3=12

−160 there is no number c such that c⋅0=−16 because 0 multiplied by whichever number is allways 0

Other approach is thinking in numbers getting smaller in denominator, imagine 40.0000000000001 the result is bigger and bigger. but it is resolved using a process called "pass to limit" This is the reason because other responses say ∞. But the truth is NO SOLUTION
