Division by infinity is not used in ordinary mathematics.
Think about infinity as a number with tons of zeroes on it. So a small number divided by a number that just keeps getting bigger will get closer and closer to zero, but will never get there.
Although we can state that for any number a,
a/ ∞ = 0 and a/(- ∞) = 0
this is not an actual value of zero, but is a limiting value for a number that approaches ∞ . You can see that the reverse multiplication operation,
∞ x 0 = a
is only true in the single case where a = 0.

Does any real number divided by zero result infinity?
You can't divide by zero. But if you take any real number and try dividing it by smaller and smaller numbers that are closer and closer to zero, your result will get closer and closer to infinity.
Is infinity divided by infinity 1?
Infinity is not a defined number. It describes, in math, the endlessness of numbers.
How something divided by zero equal to infinity?
Because zero is nothing. The figure zero isn't actually a number - it's a place-filler. Dividing anything by nothing will always result in the answer infinity.
What is the answer of infinity divided by infinity?
1 one infinity divided by infinity
If the square root of a rational number X was divided by another rational number Y and the result would be undefined what could be the possible values of X and Y?
probably x would be negative. This is because the square root of a negative number is not a real number (no real number squared can be negative). ory is 0. any number divided by 0 = infinity. and undefined is another way of saying infinity.
