It doesn't make sense to not cut a cake(1/0) but it makes sense to cut a non existent cake(0/1)?
You cut a non existent cake into two and you are left with no cake, well you had no cake to begin with anyway.
Similarly, you cut a cake into absoluetly nothing and you're left with your whole cake. (1/0=1)
No, it just makes sense to talk about dividing a zero quantity of cake x ways. If you've got no cake, everyone goes hungry (gets no cake).
But you can't make good sense of dividing anything no ways at all - except as Steel showed if you mean you leave it intact, which is division by 1, not 0.
