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 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.

What phase of cell division is the cell not dividing?
The phase of the cell cycle in which the nucleus and cell are not dividing is interphase.
Which structures in animal cells is visible in a dividing cell that are not visible in a non dividing cell?

What is dividing in mitosis?
Dividing is the final step in mitosis, where the cell splits to form a new daughter cell, completing mitosis.
