As others have said, you can't do that. You can't redefine math. About the best solution you could get is to have an extension method. Something like:

public static int SafeDivision(this int nom, int denom)
{
    return denom != 0 ? nom/denom : 0;
}

Which you could use like:

Console.WriteLine(10.SafeDivision(0));    // prints 0
Console.WriteLine(10.SafeDivision(2));    // prints 5

Which is a bit fiddly to use...

Or as @MikeNakis suggested in his answer, you can create your own struct with your own logic.
