No, you have -2- halves of a cake.......that's definitional to the concept of a half, you realize....?

You mean you did no operation whatsoever? Well, ofc...if you start with a quantity, and do no operation...you still have the same quantity......

I have a cake(1) and I cut it into absolutely nothing (1/0) now i have a cake. (1/0=1) You should make a video of yourself cutting something into nothing. It would go viral like the girl who smooshes her face into bread.

Okay. So let me get this straight.
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)

Can't answer. There's never any cake in a plate. Do you mean on the plate?

Oh yeah? Well you make a video of yourself cutting a non existent cake into two(0/2)! Let's see.

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.

Right, the divisor is not how many cuts you make, it's how many pieces you want when the cutting is done.

I'm actually having a hard time wrapping my head around something as simple as this which a 3 year old won't have trouble with lol
