3*0 = 0
Dividing both sides by 3 gives 0 = 0/3
and therefore 0/3 is defined and is equal to 0.
However, there is no number, k, such that k*0 = 3 and so division by 0 is not defined.
If there were such a number k, then you could divide both sides by k to give 0 = 3/k. But there is no such k.

Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
Why can divide 0 by 3 but not 3 by 0?
The operation, division, is not symmetric. There is a number, x, such that x*3 = 0. In fact x is also 0. But there is no number, y, such that y*0 = 3.
What is the answer to x plus 5 divide by 3 equals to 0?
x = -5/3
