For simpler understanding
Suppose u have a chocolate
to give it to 2 of them equally ..u break it into 2 halves
to give it to 3 of them equally ..u break it into 3 equal parts
...
...
to give it to 100 children ..u break it into 100 equal parts
...
as u can see ..to give equal equal portions to more and more students the size of the piece each one will get is lesser and lesser

now imagine there r uncountably huge number of students
in this case each student will practically get nothing
so one piece of chocolate divided amon infinitely many students is 0
