 A professor said  0∣0 because 0= 0×a+0   , a∈ N. Can you prove?

a∣b ⇔ (b/a)∈Z but (0/0) is not defined ⇒ 0∣0 is meaningless

$${a}\mid{b}\:\Leftrightarrow\:\frac{{b}}{{a}}\in\mathbb{Z}\:\mathrm{but}\:\frac{\mathrm{0}}{\mathrm{0}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{defined}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{0}\mid\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{meaningless} \\ $$
