why does this happen? for some reason the simple things seem subjectively difficult for no reason meanwhile you can do much more advanced things

Happens to all of us. Grothendieck once used 57 as an example of a prime number.

That's normal, dude. I struggle to do some simple divisions in the head sometimes, especially when I can't get an integer out of it.
Yesterday my gf asked me what was 46/5, then I crashed for a millisecond and thought "ok, let's do it step by step" then I proceed to divide 20/5, 20/5, 5/5 and 1/5, and then sum up the results. Took me a couple seconds after the brainfart, I'm really glad I didn't mess this up. I'm under the impression that she's always trying to jump me with random computations.
