Division by 0 is not possible.

Division tells you how many times the divisor can be subtracted from the dividend to get to 0 and not beyond; when trying to divide by 0, the 0 can be subtracted as many times as you like and the dividend will never get smaller nor closer to 0.

This is not strictly true because if both the dividend and divisor are 0, then you have reached 0 before any attempt to subtract 0; but you can subtract 0 as many times as you like and you have reached 0. Thus 0 ÷ 0 can have any value (and this result is used extensively in calculus).

You can subtract 0 an infinite number of times from 50 and you will still have not reached 0.

Thus 50 ÷ 0 is an error.
