Division by zero is not allowed, an undefined operation. I've never seen a calculator display the infinity symbol, but it's probably better for the calculator to do that rather than display the message "You're not supposed to do that, dummy!"

Not all calculators do; in fact most calculators display an error as division by zero is not possible.
