Math teacher: Why don’t amoebas produce great mathematicians?
Biology teacher: I haven’t a clue.
Math teacher: Because they have to divide to multiply.

I don’t understand it. Anybody explain it ?
Amoeba’s multiply by dividing into separate organisms, therefore, they “divide”. If you divided a number by something its always smaller than if you multiplied by something. they therefore would be unequal. Unless you divide and multiply by one, then number would equal itself. Got it? you can’t divide amoeba as you will actually be multiplying it into several amoebas. That’s not how math works
