Because whatever you try to divide by 0 the answer is always going to be infinite

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

because when we divide we are actually saying "how many of this number can we fit into this one?"

ie. 9 divided by 3 means how many groups of three anre there in 9? which is, 3.

### ### ### =#########

3 3 3 =9

then try to divide 9 by 0.3. You'll find 30

And 9/0.03=300

And 9/0.003=3000

And 9/0.00000000003 =300000000000

The smallest is the number you are dividing for, the highest will be the answer. So a number (any number) divided by 0 "tends" to infinite.
