The same is going to hold true if you divide nothing between no one. It will not even occur and there will still be nothing. You will not create something and end up with one (1) object.
For you math wizzes, I'm sure you know zero literally and mathematically means "nothing."
Oddly enough though, if you do 0^0 you will end up with one.

once again its a calculator error. 0^0 is equal to 0.
f(x) = 0^x
f(2) = 0^2 = 0
f(1) = 0^1 = 0
f(.5) = 0^.5 = 0
f(.1) = 0^.1 = 0
f(.01) = 0^.01 = 0
....
as you can see, as you approach 0, the value stays 0, so 0^0 = 0. you cannot apply the algebraic rule that a^0 = 1 unless its a nonzero number.
