24/0 (twenty four divided by nothing) is

  • nothing.
  • infinity.
  • 24.

Explanation from PART66Online

Dividing a fixed number by ever-smaller values gives ever-larger results, so as the divisor approaches zero the quotient grows without bound, conventionally expressed as infinity. The answer is never the original number 24 or nothing.

surely 24 divide this by nothing you still have 24 whole as a figure rather than infinity???

nothing "0" doesn't mean unity "1"

this is nonsense. Never in my life have I see such answer, division by 0 is impossible so infinity is a strange answer.

it's like in limits, number/ zero gives infinite, number/infinite gives zero
