The answer would be 1. The number 0 cannot be divided into anything. It doesnt exist. If you try on a calculator, you will get an E, or error message. In mathematics, you can't divide by zero. But you can look at it this way. If you start with the equation 0=1/infinity, the you can multiply each side by infinity, the infinities would cancel, and you would have the equation 0*infinity=1. If ab=c, then a=c/b and b=c/a, right. So if a*0=0 then a=0/0 and a is any number. So if 0*infinity=1 then you can divide each side by 0, the zeros would cancel out to make a, and you get a*infinity=1/0. Since infinity is the biggest value possible, you get infinity=1/0. So you can view infinity=1/0. If you look at 0*infinity=1, I know anything times zero is zero, but infinity is so big that it equals 1.
