    That's right. The answer is not zero. In fact, there's no answer at all,

    simply because there's no question. In math in general, division by zero

    is "not permitted", and if people start talking about it, the answer is called

    "indeterminate" ... that means vague, and can't be determined.

    Division is repeated subtraction. 6 divided by 2 means: "How many times

    can you take 2 away from 6 before the 6 is all used up and gone?", and the

    answer is: 3 times and then it's gone.

    So the question is really asking: "How many times can you take zero away

    from 5 before the 5 is all used up and gone?". There's no answer, because

    no matter how many times you take away zero, you can never use up the 5.
