Erm... Imagine that you have 0 cookies and you split them between 0 friends. How many cookies does each person get? See that doesn't make sense, and the Cookie Monster is sad that it has no cookies And you are sad because you have 0 friends.
I can't believe I've had to memorize this whole thing because of how many times people asked me this question.
I've never understood how dividing something by 0 is impossible. Let's say you have 15 cakes, and you need to split it among 0 people. Every person gets 0, because there are no people. Therefore, anything divided by 0 is 0.
When you divide two numbers, if you multiply the answer by the divisor, the answer to that will be the quotient, for example 15/3=5 and 5*3=15. That's not the case with (anything)/0 because if 15/0 would be 0. Then 0*0 will have to be 15 :/
