A cells division (mitosis)is dependent on anchorage, among other things. A cell has to go through a series of checkpoints before it is ready to divide. This is to make sure, that when the cell divides, it has replicated it's DNA.
Ultimately, MPF (mitosis promoting factor) controls cell division.
Cancer is when a cell divides uncontrollable, regardless of whether there is room to do so or not, and is a result from a mutation in the base sequence of a gene which encodes the production of MPF.

What stops cell division?
Cell division starts when there is an imbalance in the level of protoplasm and nucleoplasm IT STOPS WHEN there is uniformity formed again in the levels of nuclear and protoplasm
What happens when a cell is not dividing?
Depends on where in the life cycle the organism containing the cell is in. For example most of the time cells that are not dividing are in a stage called interphase where the cell undergoes the normal functions of cells such as creating and breaking down different compounds and expressing genes. After a certain amount of time and number of life cycles, a cell will go into the G sub zero phase where the cell will no longer grow and divide but will permanently be in interphase until the cell dies.
Is taking ½ of a number is the same as dividing by ½?
No, taking ½ of a number is the same as dividing it by 2. Dividing a number by ½ is the same as multiplying it by 2.
How is dividing decimals different than dividing whole numbers?
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
How is dividing mixed numbers like dividing fractions?
you cant divide mixed numbers
