Why dividing with is not allowed?
Because 0 cannot make the answer.
Because there is no number that makes not 0 multiplying with 0
Because diving with nonzero can define the answer easily
Because 0 is none.

Diving with 0 is never allowed in mathematics. Set a hypothesis. Then, make an equation that N/0=N. In the above, N means nonzero number. Then change the equation to N*0=N Did you find the wrongness? I said nonzero multiplies with 0 is nonzero, but multiplying with 0 must be 0. So dividing with 0 is not allowed in mathematics. (You can't define the answer.)
