    A number divided by zero equals infinity.

    Except if it’s zero then (so 0/0) it is either undefined or any number IIRC.

      If you plot out any number divided by x, as x approaches 0 the answer goes towards Infinity, yes.

      When it reaches zero it ceases to be a number.

      Every number divided by 0 is “undefined”, and it is not undefined because we can’t describe it, it is undefined because it does not exist, because you cannot divide things by 0.
