Why can’t 0 be divided by 0?

This applies to any numbers being divided by 0 really. In all honesty, wouldn’t 0 divided by anything just be 0? There was nothing there to divide in the first place, so why expect there to magically be a resulting number when you divide nothing?

The answer to a division problem is the result of distribution, if you have nothing to distribute and nothing to give to, the action cannot be performed so you don’t have a result

For example: if you try to see what happens after giving 0 cookies to 0 friends, you can’t because the act of giving (dividing) has not been performed
