Division by zero is undefined, all math text say so, but why? The typical view of division is simple, how much of the denominator can you fit the numerator? So how many noughts can you fit in a number, say 1. The answer is really no more undefined then how many 2s go into 12. You could say 2 or 3 I suppose, but the correct answer is six. Likewise though you may say we could fit 10 or 20 or a 1,000 0s in 1, the correct answer is infinite.
