What does it mean to divide? How do you divide? What *can* be divided? Let's divide by 7. 7's a number that's very hard to divide with in the sense that you cannot easily tell if a number is divisible by 7. Other numbers like 2, 3 and 5 have mnemonics that you can easily tell. They're quick and painless to tell. 7 is much harder. I've gone too far from dividing. Does dividing mean counting how many somethings fit into a bigger something? I think that makes sense in the realm of integers. For non integers though it gets a little more weird. It's all well and done so I don't really know. I dont know what to write. I dont know what to write. Oh. Let's divide. a over b. b fits in x many times into a perfectly. and it's only x. it's not any number. it's cool like that.
Zero:
Zero. nothing. nada. zilch. Nothingness. Emptiness. like the amount of what i want to write. zero is kind of cool. when you multiply it to something, it reduces that something to zero. adding zero to something does not change that something. it's great for problem solving sometimes. but when you divide. what happens when you divide. zero over something is always and will be zero but what happens when you divide by zero? thats sort of a grey area in math. it's weird. it's like a black hole. a singularity. a void, even. a singular point. it's crazy. but we'll talk more about that later. let's talk about something raised to zero. something raised to zero is always 1. except zero raising itself to zero. it's one of those weird divide by zero things. crazy.
