  1. Let's use math!
    1)Division is the inverse of multiplication.
    2)X=57/0 can be rewritten as X*0=57.
    3)The zero-product property states that X*0=0 for all real values of X.
    4)If you combine the equations from 2 and 3 using the transitive property, you get:
    5)57=0
    This is obviously not true, which proves that division by zero is impossible for 57.
    You can slightly tweak this process to prove that X/0 is undefined for all non-zero values of X.
