    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the provided information.

    Division by zero is not defined in our number system.

    You can understand this if you think about how division and multiplication are related.

    For example:

    4 divided by 2 is 2 because 2 times 2 is 4

    Now 4 divided by 0 is x would mean that 0 times x = 4

    But there is no value for x so that 0 times x = 4. Because 0 times a number is 0.

    Or

    4/0 means Into how many groups of zero could you separate four blocks?

    It doesn't matter how many zero groups you have, as they'd never add up to four.

    0+0+0+0=0.

    You can add zero billions time still add up to zero.

    That the reason behind "division by zero is not allowed in our number system."
