Infinity is not really a number, it is more of a concept and it is very large. When you want to talk about something very small, you can extend the concept to negative infinity.
When we use infinity in math problems we say we are dealing with extended real numbers.
Many people thing of infinity as something very very large and you can get quite close but never get there. Same idea for negative infinity. Think of walking on the number line in either the positive or negative direction. The ends of it represent infinity and negative infinity but the number line goes on forever in both directions. So you can never really get to the end.

What is the result of one divided by infinity?

Defined to be zero -- another answer -- It is another "Infinity" - the infinitely small 1 can be subdivided by any number and it produces the inverse of that number. So, as infinity is uncountably large, one over infinity is uncountably small and is itself infinity. 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1 1 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.000001 1 ÷ 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.000000000001 and so on down to 1 ÷ ∞ = 0.∞

Can you picture infinity?

I find it hard to picture infinity, because infinity is endless. I actually find it impossible to picture infinity. If you want to think of infinity, think of space, and the endless space space has. All those endless planets and stars and galaxies! Fractal images derived from mathematical equations are infinite, but human eyes cannot see infinity. Therefore, since infinity can only be imagined and not conceived it falls within the list of other such inventions like heaven/hell, cosmic distance, energy, small force, etc.
