Because division is the opposite of multiplication as for example 55*0 = 0 and so it follows that 55/0 is impossible.

***********************************

Since zero is infinitely small, a number divided by zero becomes infinitely large, and normal mathematical processes are not designed to deal with infinity, so your calculations will give you a wrong result.
