why is dividing by zero not possible?

[anonkunbrah]

Divide = to separate into one or more parts

Divide by zero = divide by nothing

because you can’t divide something by nothing

0 isn't nothing. Null is nothing.

Why does does a number times zero equal zero. That's the real conspiracy.

Why does does a number times zero equal zero. That's the real conspiracy.

<need mode on> The commutative property says we can change the order of multiplication. If we ask for the result of zero times anything, we should get zero. (Twice as much as zero is still zero.) 😊<nerd mode off>

Apologies

So then 20/0 = 20?

20/0 = infinity

[theory816]

Division is a ratio(proportion) between two things.

$25/hr.
60mph
30mpg

So to divide by zero, there is no ratio. You can make $25/0hr. But its often a useless number. That's like saying I made $25 today. Automatically in our minds we make a ratio and ask, "per hour?" and you respond with, "no, per day".
