You say it yourself. If you jeep adding infinite zeros you will never get 1, hence the ‘divided by 0’ part.
Also, 0 is technically not a number either, it’s the concept of the absence of one. You can’t count 0 things. That doesn’t mean we don’t use it, thogh. It’s just less hard to imagine and closer to our basic calculations than infinity is.

Zero is a real number, but not a natural number. I’m not going to explain the difference because, dude, this is junior high math

Indeed, and infinite isn’t… It’s like comparing Newton and Einstein on a regular earth scale.

Right, infinity is late high-school, early university math.
Also not really relevant but you know that elementary mechanics approximates the theory of relatively at regular earth scale?
