Understanding limits to infinity

When x->∞, what is the exact number of x?

We don’t know, x is undefined.

is not a number, is a idea of having a greater number than you give.

When x->∞, 1/x appoachs zero, but is never equal zero!

When n -> ∞, does sin(1/n) / (1/n) have meaning?

I used to thought 1/n = 0 while n->∞, but 0 cannot be divided, So I was confused.

That makes me puzzled is I regard 1/n -> 0 as 1/n = 0.

When n -> ∞, 1/n is not a zero number, is a very very small number, So sin(1/n) / (1/n) have its meaning.
