Oddly enough I came across this on Uncyclopedia.
Can you really divide by 1?
I know that it can be mathematically done with ease, but physically can it be done?
Imagine a pie, and your dividing tool is your knife. If you want to divide the pie in 2 you can do that just cut the pie down the middle. If you want to divide it by 4 just cut it down the middle then do it again perpendicular to the original cut. But if you want to divide by 1 you end up not using your knife at all. You therefore don't divide the pie and do not divide by 1.
I hope this is the right forum.
