  1. So, for the people that can't understand why you can't divide by zero, here's an explanation I came up with.
  2.  
  3. Say we have a cake. 1/1 cake, with no slices. As you cut it up more, like into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and etc, you come up with less cake.
  4.  
  5. So what happens if we have cake/0? Rather than being one cake on the table, that cake explodes and is now equally everywhere in the universe.
  6.  
  7. And when you divide cake by infinity, the cake is now completely gone. No more cake. It becomes a lie.
