30/0=30. If a number has no divions it remains the same number. If you have a pile of apples and you divide the pile by a number, you have that number of separate piles. If you make zero dividions you stay with the same pile.

Where am I going wrong, here?

Hi, WT! If you have

a/b = c

It necessarily follows that

a = b*c

So in your example we'd have

30 = 0*30

which is clearly false.

Check out my attempt to explain it in post #70. It's the explanation you find in most algebra books. Cheers!
