...and you're halfway between both, who would get the message first?

For example, let's say the trip is 4 light years long. You reach half the speed of light and you have a laser communication array pointing forward and backward. When you reach the midway point, you send the message to both places. Would they both get the message at the same time or would your destination get it first?

Multiplication is "how many times do we add this" so 1x0 is zero because it's one, zero times.

Division is "how many times will this number go into that number" so 1/1 is one because you can fit one one into one. 1/0 isn't possible because how many times can zero go into one? Zero isn't an amount so you can't quantify it.
