SUMMARY
When you are using a Macintosh with a math coprocessor, the computer evaluates a formula that divides zero by zero (&quot;=0/0&quot;) to a value that is too small for Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh versions 2.2 and 3.0 to use. As a result, Excel generates a &quot;#NUM&quot; error. On a computer without a math coprocessor, Excel generates the error &quot;#DIV/0!&quot;.
