l / 0 = nonsense [ any number other than 0 / 0 = nonsense ]
0 / l = infinity [ 0 / any positive integer = infinity ]  
0 / any negative integer = nonsense
0 / 0 = 0 and l and infinity

If I divide my cake with nobody how much cake will each person have? Zero. 

So 1/0=0?

If you divide your cake by no people, you are not dividing the cake. There are no people in that scenario, so they are not able to have zero cake. You didn't do anything with the cake so there still is (1) cake. But not because 1/0=1, but because the /0 part didn't happen. Because it's nonsense.

How would you cut a cake for 0 people? You wouldn't. There is nobody to cut it for. So you don't perform the operation of cutting. You don't divide. That's why the (1) cake is still there. But it's not the effect of a division.

You could say the same about addition though. When you add your cake by nothing, you are not adding the cake. Can you explain why it is right with addition but not with division?

Because it's possible to add 0 slices of cake, or take away 0 slices of cake. But it's not possible to hand out x slices to 0 people, because the slices are not being handed. In case of addition and subtraction, the result is the same as if you hadn't performed an operation, but the operation itself does make logical sense. It doesn't make much sense in real life examples I guess, but it does in maths. But it would probably take someone who actually does meth maths to confirm that what I said isn't nonsense ._.

But with division, it's simply impossible:
I have one cake which is 10 slices. I give a slice to 0 people. How many slices did each person get?
The question makes no sense. There are no people so they can't physically have any slices. The slices have not been given away. The cake has not been divided.

If there was anyone to give it to there could be an answer.  But just keeping the cake or chucking it out the window doesn't fit your description and so has no application here.  Nice.

Trololololol.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
