Why can you divide 0 by 5 but not 5 by 0?
Lets say you have 0 pieces of pie and you divide it among you and four of your friends. How much would each person get? This would be 0 pieces since there isn't any pie. If you have 5 pieces of pie but no one to divide it to, you cant divide it.

Yes.
What is shape not divided by into fourequal pices or fourth?
While many shapes can be divided into more than four equal pieces, the most common shape with that characteristic would be a pentagon, which has five equal pieces, or fifths. Another shape that would be divided into a different amount of equal pieces would be a triangle, with three equal pieces or thirs. And a third would be a hexagon, with six equal pieces, or sixths.
How can you divide squares in to 1 eighths?
by dividing by 6 .and if the eighth is whole then divide by 7 .________________________I have a different take; if I have misunderstood the question then I trust a kind contributor will delete this contribution. The questioner may be asking how to divide a square into pieces each one eighth the size of the original square. The pieces will be right triangles of equal size. They will not all be congruent with one another, however. Four will be congruent with each other, and the remaining four will be congruent with each other. Draw lines connecting opposite vertices; they will meet at the center. Then draw lines connecting the centers of opposite sides.Another way is to end up with 8 identical rectangles. Divide the width into 8 equal parts, and divide the height into 8 equal parts. For example: a square 8 inches per side. Then divide the square into 4 inch by 2 inch rectangles. There will be 8 of them.
