Welcome, have you at least tried a little bit and can share that bit with us? — Johannes_B, May 15 '16 at 08:13
Sorry if my question is somehow elementary, I'm an absoloutely beginner with latex, I looked for it for a while and thought to asked it here — Shivid, May 15 '16 at 08:16
Exactly the same way as in Cross out with arrow as in "goes to zero", just write \simeq 0 instead of 0. — Torbjørn T., May 15 '16 at 08:22

Use the cancel package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{cancel}
\begin{document}
$\cancelto{\simeq 0}{A}$
\end{document}

One should not use \simeq for ‘almost equal to’. \approx is more appropriate, in my opinion. – Bernard May 15 '16 at 10:42
@Bernard I partially agree, that \approx makes more sense than \simeq for "approximately", but here either A goes to zero, then one denotes it by \cancelto{0}{A} or A \to 0, or A does not go to zero and one mustn't cancel it. – Henri Menke May 15 '16 at 16:09
