(-1)^0.5 is not a Real Number, but is really a number.
Son of Pi?
One_Zeroth gets sumof your Mama's pie!
Don't be talking about people's Mothers
You can too divide by infinity, my unwanted step son.
Infinity/infinity is any positive real, and is infinity as well.
You're not the one I'm hitting in the back of the head...so you can comprehend.
Infinity goes into infinity, infinity number of times.
And infinity goes into infinity 3, 4, or, 3+2^(0.2) times.
I cannot break it down, further.
YOU'RE Wasting my time, brother!

Reiterated.
I implore any on lookers here to use your intelligence and your common sense, this Dude is so undermining.
Wikipedia agrees you can divide by infinity
This is not A Democracy you baby, facts don't require a vote or 2nd opinion when correctly presented.
Division by infinity
In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is ∞. In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since ∞ is a mathematical concept that does not correspond to a specific number, and moreover, there is no nonzero real number that, when added to itself an infinite number of times, gives a finite number. However, "dividing by ∞“ can be given meaning as an informal way of expressing the limit of dividing a number by larger and larger divisors.[1]: 201–204
The hyperbola �=1/� . As � approaches ∞, � approaches 0.
Using mathematical structures that go beyond the real numbers, it is possible to define numbers that have infinite magnitude yet can still be manipulated in ways much like ordinary arithmetic. For example, on the extended real number line, dividing any real number by infinity yields zero,[2] while in the surreal number system, dividing 1 by the infinite number � yields the infinitesimal number � .[3][4]: 12 In floating-point arithmetic, any finite number divided by ±∞ is equal to positive or negative zero if the numerator is finite. Otherwise, the result is NaN.
The challenges of providing a rigorous meaning of "division by infinity" are analogous to those of defining division by zero.
Within the domain of mathematical discourse, the contemplation of dividing infinity by itself gives rise to a proposition of interest. Specifically, the assertion that the result of dividing infinity by infinity ( ∞ ÷ ∞ = ∞ ) is tantamount to infinity itself merits exploration. A logical journey unveils the underpinnings of this concept and its mathematical validity.
Consider a parameter denoted as "y," which, for the sake of analysis, is assigned the value 10. The crux of the matter rests in the equation ∞ ÷ y = ∞, where the introduction of y introduces an essential condition. To render the equation coherent, y must assume a magnitude that is sufficiently vast to accommodate the division operation involving infinity. This requirement reflects the conceptual intricacies associated with dealing with the concept of infinity in mathematical contexts.
However, the narrative takes a noteworthy turn as we transition to the equation y × ∞ = ∞. This equation signifies a transformation of the division operation into one of multiplication. In essence, this transition underscores a relationship where division of infinity finds equivalence through multiplication with an appropriate value of y. This insight reinforces the notion that the division of infinity by itself materializes as an operation of multiplication, culminating in an outcome of ∞.
Moreover, it's worth mentioning that if we carry forward the same line of thinking, something fascinating emerges. When we take infinity and divide it by a regular number like 10, the result still holds true: it's infinity. This adds another layer of insight to our mathematical journey, underscoring the depth of what we're uncovering here.

I disagree. Infinity is real enough.
They are incorrect here, though.
"For example, on the extended real number line, dividing any real number by infinity yields zero."

For 1(1/infinity) which is infinity/1
While 1/(-1/infinity) is -infinity/1
Showing that they do indeed differ.
and the answer to the forum topic question is yes ...
it would be negative.
Because however large the infinity is under the 1 - the 1 still has a 'chunk' of it ...
therefore something would be subtracted from the zero resulting in negative.
Whenever discussing numbers - there is something to realize ...
there is no number that has 'pure' form in the universe ...
it doesn't happen.
Nowhere will you find something that's 'purely two' for example.
Numbers can be used as nouns - but they're mostly adjectival in their applied use.
There are three classes of existence ...
1) Hard existence - like rocks - trees - sand - light - and so on.
2) That which refers to or describes #1 - like colours - numbers - sizes ... speed ...
3) That which refers to unreal things that cannot exist or happen - the ethereal.
Like reverse time travel for example.
Or an object being in four different locations at the same instant.
I used to think that the square root of minus one could not refer to anything real.
But then found out that it can be used to describe the behaviour of inductance-capacitance events ....
so I had to move it from category 3 to category 2.
This is not a proud victory for me, so I will not gloat, as I had to get a Second opinion from Wiki.
Facts are Facts, and he would pretend not to understand without peer acceptance he would never get. As he was just plain mistaken.
