There's a mathematical riddle that claims to "prove" 1 = 2, but if you examine it closely enough, it turns out to be dividing by 0. Sorry I csn't remember the riddle.

No, 1 is 1 and 2 is 2. They are not equivalent. Even if there was some mathematical way to manipulate them into being equal, throughout there is some logical sequencing that would not be accurate.

1=2 only and if only 2=1

x=1
x=2

x=x then 1=2
