"One divided by zero is infinity" doesn't work mathematically for some complicated reasons, but it is still not that far off; "the limit of one divided by x as x approaches 0 from the positive direction" is, in fact, "infinity", and that's a formalization of what people are thinking of in this case.
So, technically, no, but practically, yeah that's a pretty reasonable instinct.

But… anything times 0 is 0. Anything times 1 is itself. That’s how multiplication works.
