    0 divided by 0 is 1.
    0 can go into 0 1 time. I think.

    It has to be either 1 or 0, it can't be ∞.

    exactly, nothing divided by nothing means you get nothing.

    I lol'd. It is ∞.

    Proof: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0/0

    If you try to divide anything by zero, result will be 0.0000... to infinity. Therefore anything divided by zero is not determined/infinite.

    but even if you times 0 by infinity, you still get 0, so 0.0000000000000000000 - to infinity places would still equal 0
