Why can you not divide a number by 0?

You can't divide something like 5 by nothing. It's irrational, because the number zero represents nothing, and that it is just a symbol recognizing that nothing is there. It's almost like an invisible thing, because 0 represents invisibility, because it is the only symbol justifying nothing in the numerical system.
