0 is your answer (not a number close to zero). Or mathematicially more precise: approaches zero. Remember that infinity is not a number but is is treated as if it is something larger than any number. If we divide 1 by bigger and bigger numbers, then the quotient get closer and closer to 0, therefore 1 divided by infinity is zero. We can even say that 1 divided by negative infinity equals zero because if we divide 1 by a negative million, or negative billion, etc. the quotient goes to 0.

What is Infinity divided by Infinity?
It is indeterminate. There are many other inderterminate forms. It is not at all the same as 3/3 for example. You can see this with limits and some calculus rules. You must apply the L'Hospital theorem by deriving the numerator and the denominator of the equation that gave you infinity over infinity.-----------------Why ∞/∞ is not 1One could think that ∞/∞ = 1, but this is wrong.The answer depends on the kind of infinity: in fact, there are different kinds of infinity.For example, consider f(x) = x2 and g(x) = x. In the limit x→∞ of the function f(x)/g(x), we havelimx→∞ f(x)/g(x) = limx→∞ x2/x = limx→∞ x = ∞;so, both f(x) and g(x), in that limit, equal infinity, but f(x)/g(x) ≠ 1. If we have f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x, both f(x) and g(x) equal infinity (for x→∞), butlimx→∞ f(x)/g(x) = limx→∞ 2x/x = limx→∞ 2 = 2 ≠ 1.So you see that infinity is something to check everytime!--------------Addition: Since infinity is not a set number, you cannot assume that infinity divided by infinity would equal one. Infinity is an indeterminate number.1To touch on this whatever you take and divide by the same number will always give you one.2Infinity divided by infinity is not equal to 1, But it is undefined, not another infinity. This would help you:First, I am going to define this axiom (assumption) that infinity divided by infinity is equal to one:∞-∞= 1Since ∞ = ∞ + ∞, then we are going to substitute the first infinity in our axiom:∞ + ∞---∞= 1The next step is to split this fraction into two fractions:∞-∞+ ∞-∞= 1Next, substitute the axiom twice into the equation, we get:1 + 1 = 1Finally, this can be rewritten as:2 = 1Therefore, infinity divided by infinity is NOT equal to one. Instead we can get any real number to equal to one when we assume infinity divided by infinity is equal to one, so infinity divided by infinity is undefined.
What is the limit as x approaches infinity of x plus x to the 3rd power plus x to the 5th power all divided by 1 - x to the 2nd power plus x to the 4th power?
Infinity.
What is infinity divided by pi?
Impossible to answer ! Infinity is a never ending quantity - and Pi is a never ending decimal !
What number is more than infinity?
There is no number greater than infinity. Infinity is defined to be greater than any number, so there can not be two numbers, both infinity, that are different.However, when dealing with limits, one can approach a non-infinite value for a function involving infinity. Take, for example, 2x divided by x, when x is infinity. That value is indeterminate, because infinity divided by infinity is defined as indeterminate, and 2 times infinity is still infinity.But, if you look at the limit of 2x divided by x, as x approaches infinity, you do get a value, and that value is 2. This does not mean that 2x when x is infinity is twice infinity, it just means that, right before x becomes infinity, the ratio is right before 2.Infinity should not be thought of as a number, but rather as a direction. Whereas a number represents a specific quantity, infinity does not define given quantity. (If you started counting really fast for billions of years, you would never get to infinity.) There are, however, different "sizes of infinity." Aleph-null, for example, is the infinity that describes the size of the natural numbers (0,1,2,3,4....) The infinity that describes the size of the real numbers is much larger than aleph-null, for between any two natural numbers, there are infinite real numbers.Anyway, to improve upon the answer above, it is not meaningful to say "when x is infinity," because, as explained above, no number can "be" infinity. A number can approach infinity, that is to say, get larger and larger and larger, but it will never get there. Because infinity is not a number, there is no point in asking what number is more than infinity.
Domain of t squared plus 1?
If t is real then [1 to infinity) ie all real numbers from 1 to infinity, including 1 but not infinity. If t is in the complex plane then the domain of t^2+1 is also the complex plane.
What is the answer of infinity divided by infinity?
1 one infinity divided by infinity
What is infinity divided by 5?
Infinity divided by any finite number is infinity. Here are the rules: 1. Infinity divided by a finite number is infinite (I / f = I); 2. Any finite number divided by infinity is a number infinitesimally larger than, but never equal to, zero (f / I = 1 / I); 3. Infinity divided by infinity is one (I / I = 1), or in fact any other positive number (I / I = and so on...); 4. Infinity multiplied by zero (no infinity) is zero (I * 0 = 0); 5. Infinity divided by a positive finite number is infinity (I / +f = I); 6. Infinity divided by a negative finite number is minus infinity (I / -f = -I); 7. Infinity divided by zero is not possible; 8. Infinity plus infinity is infinity (I + I = I); 9. Zero divided by infinity (nothing divided into infinity) equals zero (0 / I = 0); 10. Infinity plus a finite number is infinity (I + f = I); 11. Infinity minus a finite number is infinity (I - f = I); but 12. Infinity minus infinity, due to the nature of infinity, can be zero, infinity, or minus infinity (I - I = -I, 0, I).
What is the value of infinite?
1 time infinity equals infinity. Infinite divided by infinite equals 1. There's your answer. * * * * * Except that it is not true. 1 times infinity is, indeed, infinity. But infinity divided by infinity need not be 1. See for example, the paradox of Hibert's Hotel at the attached link.
Is infinity divided by infinity 1?
Infinity is not a defined number. It describes, in math, the endlessness of numbers.

What is infinity divided by two?
infinity divided by any finite number is also infinity.
What is the answer of 1 divided by infinity?
Firstly we don't know infinity value. If you divide any number by infinity then answer will be zero. Example is divide 100/3 by infinity ( let infinity is equal to 1/0). Then answer is 100/3/1/0 you will get zero.

Is 1 divided by 0 infinity?
Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
How do you wirte infinity?
Infinity means some non-zero value divided by zero. It was commonly written as 1/0
What is the domain and range of the function y equals 1 divided by x squared?
The domain of y = 1/x2 is all numbers from -infinity to + infinity except zero. The range is all positive numbers from zero to +infinity, except +infinity.
