#0# divided by #5# is #0#.

Explanation:

To visualize division, imagine the first number is how many cookies you have, and the second number is how many friends you have (including yourself). You have to try to figure out how many cookies each friend gets so that everyone gets the same amount.

For instance, if you have #6# cookies and #3# friends, each person would evenly get #2# cookies each. (This symbolizes #6div3=2#.)

In this case, we have #0# cookies and #5# friends. For everyone to get the same amount, everyone would get #0# cookies. This means that #0div5# is just #0#.

Hope this helped!
