Let’s start with 2×6=12. Then 12/6=2, and 12/2=6. This is always true.
Let’s try with another number. 12/0. That means we have to find the answer for x×0=12. Which has no answer: there is no number which gives you 12 when multiplied by zero.
How about zero then? Surely we could at least divide zero by zero: 0/0. But then
x×0=0. Since every number multiplied by zero gives you zero, any number could be the answer.
