> 4/0? There's no cake at all. You can't have something of something that is not there. It's not 0, because 0 is a number. It's simply not defined. Non existent.
0 is a number that denotes non-existence though right? so it is adequate there. you can have nothing after the division for something that *was* there prior to the division, which is the purpose of zero. You can't have '0' of something that *is* there, the purpose of zero is to enumerate non-existence.

It is still in existence, but it's number is zero because it is no longer an apple. it is no longer some count of an apple, it is no longer any count of an apple, it is something else, but not an apple, so it is zero apples, a successful division by zero!
