i have to prove by mathmatical induction that an expression is divisibly by 4. When i use n=1 for the first step the expression evaluates to zero. Can i consider this as divisible by 4?

zero divisiable by any real number equals zero
0 / 4 = 0
Multiplying denominator 4 by the quotients 0 = 0.
4 x 0 = 0
The answer 0 is correct for the numerator
Therefore 0/4 = 0 is defined.

Any real number divisiable by zero is undefined
4 / 0 = Undefined
There is no real number multiplied by zero to give the product of 4 in the numerator.
Therefore 4/0 is undefined.

usually when we said that a number is divisible by 0, the number is 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 etc
1 is not divisble by 4 (it i smaller than 4)
2 is not
3 is not
you have to understand this basic info first
(1 divided by 4 is 0.25 but this is not an integer)

Yes!!! if you divide 0 by any number it is 0.
But you can't divide a number by 0. It's forbidden!!!!!

yes,if the divider is not zero and the outcome is always zero
