The meaning of division

The division can be conceptually interpreted in several ways.

In quotitive division, the dividend is imagined to be split up into parts of size (the divisor), and the quotient is the number of resulting parts. For example, imagine ten slices of bread are to be made into sandwiches, each requiring two slices of bread. A total of five sandwiches can be made . Now imagine instead that zero slices of bread are required
