Divide
is a word that can be used in Math as well as in many other areas of life. It can mean divide two numbers, or divide a group of people into smaller groups. So, it can be used in social context where kids divide themselves into various groups like cool, not so cool, smart, etc. In our society we are divided as well in ethnic, economic, and other groups. We can be divided in groups based on our religious beliefs and lifestyles.
Zero
I think of the value zero in the social context. In my mother tongue, there is a really mean way to say that someone is not worth anything it is said the person is a 'total zero'. This means all of his attributes as a individual add to zero. There are some political figures that they often describe like this.
In the context of Math, zero is an important number in many of its areas.
