SteveMathematically speaking, 1 can go into 0 an infinite number of times. This is because any number divided by 0 is undefined in mathematics. When dividing by 0, you are essentially asking how many groups of 0 can fit into a number, which does not have a meaningful answer in the realm of arithmetic.

How many times does 1 go into 0?
as many times as it wants because anything times 0 is 0
How many times does 12 go into 231?
19 R 3
How many times does 2 go into 185?
It goes: 185/2 = 92 times with a remainder of 1
How many times does 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 go into 45?
1 goes in 45 times. 3 goes in 15 times. 5 goes in 9 times. 9 goes in 5 times. The rest don't go in.
Why isn't zero divided by zero either zero or one?
Consider the equation 0 times x = 0.This is true for every number x.Divide both sides by 0; we get x = 0/0.So zero divided by zero could be any number at all; it could be -42, or 273.15, or anything else.If we try to pick one value for 0/0, we will eventually get into trouble.Examples:Say 0/0 = 1 = 1/1.Multiply the numerator of both sides by 3. Then(3 times 0)/0 = (3 times 1)/1.Therefore 0/0 = 3.Since 0/0 = 1, we get 1 = 3, which we really don't want, as all of our mathematics will become useless.Say 0/0 = 0.Then 0/0 = 0/1.Turn both fractions upside down. We get0/0 = 1/0, but since 0/0 = 0, we get0 = 1/0.Multiplying both sides by 0 gives0 times 0 = 1,so 0 = 1, which we don't want either.The best thing to do is not to give 0/0 any value; we say 0/0 is undefined. Also we take x/0 to be undefined for every number x.
