Best Answer

0 isn't a real number.

Distance: the extent or amount of space between two things, points or lines.

0 is not a amount as it is not a number and is the "Distance" were to be 0 then it wouldn't be any leanth away.

How many miles equal 24601 square miles?

A mile is a measure of Distance, so a mile is simple D, but a square mile is is Distance by Width, D * W. So because a mile has no width, a mile cannot be put into a square mile because when you divide the W it ends up as 24601 divided by zero. (protip: you cannot divide by zero)
