Think about it, if you divide by zero you are dividing by nothing. which would make the answer the same as the number/variable in other words
5/0 = 5 or x=x

wrong
think on this
you have x, z and Y
lets say
x / y = z
x= z * y
if Y = 0 then z* y is 0 and x would be 0 too
lets apply that to your example
5/0 = 5 (( wrong )
5/0 = x
5 = x * 0
5= 0
?!?!? WTF?!

other method:
lets say
5 |0
0 (random number)
5
repeat process infinite times and its always with a random number.
