division by zero z/0 for z in C*!=0 in the extended complex plane C-* is defined to be a quantity known as complex infinity. This definition expresses the fact that, for z!=0, lim_(w->0)z/w=infty (i.e., complex infinity)

Also

if you use differential mathematics, you see that the limit of 1/x approaches infinity as x approaches 0

so excuse me if I don't "check this" by adding things together.

My calculator can't do none of that shit, so I'll just pretend it doesn't exist.
