The "convention" is inconsistent with division by small quantities that get closer and closer to zero.

  1/1000000 = 0.000001
  ...
  1/10 = 0.1
  1/1 = 1
  1/0.1 = 10
  1/0.0001 = 1000
  1/0.0000001 = 1000000
  ...
  1/0 = ... 0?  WTF

What is the application for 1/0 = 0? Where is this used? Does it actually make a meaningful appearance outside of drunken barroom conversations, and classrooms staffed by clowns?
