So its like 0 + Epsilon. Interesting...

I'm not sure, but isn't 1 / Infinity just 0?

Infinity is 1 / 0, so 1 / ( 1 / 0 ) is 1 * 0 / 1, which is 0 / 1 which is 0.

Hmm...

Well VErd its ALMOST 0 or its so small that its like 0 so when people create an answer they put just 0 unless they need the real answer. That problem is a mental one how many times does 99999999 go into 1 its like 0.000001 just infiniteveley incresing the 9s and the 0s will keep increasing.

I don't suggest you go too deep into that, people have gone crazy trying to deal with infinecimals. But yeah, the number would be one infinitecimal (as in one over infinite)

I just write Epsilon. In programming, epsilon is the smallest amount a decimal can hold. so its like .000000000 ... 000000000000 ... 0000000001.
