What is 2/2?

In mathematics, '/' represents division, and also uses the following symbol: `-:`


Now let's solve the question given: `2//2 = 1`


Any number divided by the same number, except for the number '0', will yield an answer of '1'. 


Let's look at several other examples: 


`5//5 =1`


`2000//2000 = 1`


`(-5)//(-5) = 1` 


Also when a negative number is divided by a negative answer the answer is still '1'


`(2/3)//(2/3) = 1`


Also when the same number as a fraction is divided by the same number as a fraction, the answer yield is also '1'


Speaking of fractions, the above question can also be written as a fraction as follows: `2/2`


When we calculate the fraction we get the same answer: 


`2/2 = 1`


The fraction line that differentiates the numerator and the denominator acts as a division line as well. 


SUMMARY: 


2/2 = 1
