On the one hand, this is obviously true because an decrease of the divisor results in an increase of the result, and x / (lim y --> 0) = (lim z --> infinity), but on the other hand this would also mean that infinity times zero is every number at the same time. This is why dividing by zero is considered being impossible. In my opinion mathematicians just don't accept the fact that their science is no science at all, because in real science there is no "impossible", just "totally unlikely".
