==Executive Summary==
You said something that does not compute, and I'm done with trying to explain it.
==Explanation==
What you said is fundamentally illogical. It somehow fails to take into account the evidence presented, or else proceeds from that evidence to draw a nonsensical conclusion. Furthermore, you have made this type of error many times before, and have ignored (or at least obviously not understood) my explanations of the problem.
==Mathematics==
Zero cannot be divided by zero; depending on the calculation method used, the answer to "zero divided by zero" (<code>0 / 0</code>)) can either be literally anything or else uncomputable. Pocket calculators, calculator apps, and computer CPUs will return an error when this (or any other divide-by-zero) operation is attempted.

In algebra, it may be possible to get a meaningful answer by factoring out terms which are resulting in a multiply-by-zero on both sides of the equation.

Some functions which result in a 0/0 at a certain point can be worked out through calculus, using [[wikipedia:Limit of a function|limits]].
