>>11639127instead of division, think about it as multiplication by the multiplicative inverse. E.g. instead of dividing by 5, you multiply bu 1/5. Division is just a shorthand. Then, you can only divide by numbers that have a multiplicative inverse. Any number times its multiplicative inverse is 1. 5*1/5=1. You will quickly find that 0 has no multiplicative inverse. There is no way to get 1 when multiplying with 0. After multipliying any number by 0, you cannot again multiply it by any number that will give you the original number. Thats why division by 0 is undefined. There is no multiplicative inverse for 0.
