Are you into mathematics? Do you have any cake?

[J a c k]

I hate cake.

But... but...
nooooooooooooo! Our friendship embryo has been injured. I had your back at banana hate, but I don't know if I can work with cake hate. Any cake? You know you gotta help me out (yeaaaah-song ref).

Your problem is that you've not properly analogized mathematical concepts to the real world.  If you have a cake, and "don't do anything with it", that's not analogous to dividing by zero, that's analogous to dividing by 1.  That is, you had 1 cake... and you "cut it into one piece."  That's... 1/1 = 1.

So let's say you have a cake. You cut into three equal parts by dividing with 3, two equal parts by dividing with 2, 1 equal part by dividing with 1 and 0 equal part by dividing with 0, in other words -> doing absolutely nothing to the cake by dividing with 0...so he cake is still there..(1/0=1)

So let's say you have a cake. You cut into three equal parts by dividing with 3,

Yup.

two equal parts by dividing with 2,

Yup.

1 equal part by dividing with 1

Yup.

and 0 equal part by dividing with 0,

NOPE.

in other words doing absolutely nothing to the cake by dividing with 0...so he cake is still there..(1/0=1)

You cannot have zero equal parts of anything. The statement is nonsense. I think you know that.

Okay. So I have a cake. I divide it among zero of my friends. So what do i have now? A whole cake with me(1/0=1)
Just like how when i have a cake(1) and I divide it among one of my friend and me(1/2) I have half a cake with me(1/2=.5)

Okay. So I have a cake.

Okay.

I divide it among zero of my friends.

So you do not divide it at all.

So what do i have now? A whole cake with me(1/0=1)
Just like how when i have a cake(1) and I divide it among one of my friend and me(1/2) I have half a cake with me(1/2=.5)

You have a whole cake. (1/1)

Why do you think you went from 1/0 by yourself, to increasing your divisor by two (1/2) for just one more division? In other words, why didn't you go from 1/0 to 1/1?

I honestly can't tell if you're just trolling here. So I'll just pretend to myself that you're not.

Just give me my damn cake.

My apologies for this post. I accidentally posted when I meant to save as draft.

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

When I divide my cake with myself(1/1) I get the whole cake(1/1=1).
When I divide my cake with no one(1/0) I still get the whole cake(1/0=1).

1/0 -> You're dividing the cake with absolutely nobody -> Still have the cake
1/1 -> You're dividing the cake for yourself -> Still have the cake
1/2 -> You're dividing the cake for yourself and your friend -> Have half the cake

etc

When I divide my cake with no one(1/0) I still get the whole cake(1/0=1).

When you divide the cake with no one, you are not dividing the cake.

1/0 is undefined. Its limit approaches ±∞.

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

Hmm.

So when I divide the cake with no one I'm not dividing the cake but when I add the cake(1) with nothing(0) I'm adding the cake?(1+0=1)
