Step 1: Let a=b.
Step 2: Then a^2 = ab,
Step 3: a^2 + a^2 = a^2 + ab,
Step 4: 2 a^2 = a^2 + ab,
Step 5: 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 + ab - 2 ab,
Step 6: and 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 - ab.
Step 7: This can be written as 2 (a^2 - a b) = 1 (a^2 - a b),
Step 8: and cancelling the (a^2 - ab) from both sides gives 1=2.

Step 8: and cancelling the (a^2 - ab) from both sides gives 1=2.

Not so fast. Dividing by (a^2-ab) means dividing by 0 since:
a^2 = ab
a^2-ab = 0
And we all know you can't divide by 0.

Nice try though.

You can to divide by 0. But you can't divide anything into 0. 0/0=undefined. You have caught the error. Congrats!

Err, pretty sure that's false. You can't divide anything by 0. You can estimate something's behavior about 0, but it requires utilizing limits of the function in question as it gets arbitrarily close to 0. Which is calculus and is a pain to deal with. <.<

Congrats! You wasted five seconds reading this.
