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.

How do you quarter a number with a calculator?

To "quarter" anything, you divide it into four parts (often 4 roughly equal parts).So on a calculator, you simply enter the number, hit the "divide by" key (either a / or a ÷ sign), hit the number 4, and hit = (equal, enter, execute).You can also divide by 4 by multiplying by 1/4, which on a calculator is done by multiplying your number by 0.25 (decimal point, two, five).(the / key is often called a right slant or slash, while the ÷ sign is called an obelus)
