Property of One
Any nonzero number divided by itself equals . Expressed formally, provided . For example, a pie cut into slices still represents one whole pie when all slices are present: . This property holds for every nonzero value—whether the number is an integer, a fraction, or any other quantity—because dividing a quantity into equal parts and then taking all of those parts always reconstitutes the original whole.
