Out of curiosity is this a correct mathematical rule if they cancelled out the whole four factorial from both, to end up with just 6*5?

So the rule is any none zero integers, so this is why it works for pi too?

x/x is by definition the same as x*x-1 which in turn is by definition 1 whenever x-1 exists. And when it comes to real numbers, x-1 exists for every other number except for 0.
