You made the same mistake as a previous post, by treating 0/0 as equal to 1.  IF 0/0 would be equal to 1, THEN you could do that.  But that's not the case.  In fact, here's something that I just thought up:

Division by:
-(x>1) will move a number closer to Zero
-(x<-1) will move a number past Zero to a lesser absolute value than that of the original number
-(0<x<1) will move a number further away from Zero.
-(-1<x<0) will move a number past Zero to a number of greater absolute value than that of the original number.

Basically, the division patterns look like this:
-->(-1)<--(-0+)-->(+1)<--
Zero is neither positive nor negative.  What happens to the number it divides?
