Read my previous post. You have to define it as a limit; we cannot have zero as a divisor defined as anything BUT a limit, which depends upon the “direction” from which you’re approaching.
 
If you haven’t covered limits and/or differential equations, it’s a little more advanced, and not as straightforward as ‘basic’ math.

That would make sense, it would be 0.00 repeating for infinity. You would make a nothing into an infinite of nothings just to show how much of a nothing you are trying to use to divide something… I think?

Not quite. If we stick to real numbers (e.g. let x ∈ ℝ), we can write the ‘solution’ as two distinct limits: one approaching from the positive direction, the other from the negative. They approach ±∞ (positive and negative infinity), respectively.
 
Otherwise, the answer is literally “undefined”.

as far as i understand.  
The Smaller the Number you Divide through the Bigger the Solution.  
2 / 1 = 2  
2 / 0.5 = 4  
2 / 0.25 = 16  
soo  
2 / 0 = ∞ ?

Only in theory. they allow calculators to do it as an exception, but the actual concept of dividing by nothing is pretty good. It would sort of be like trying to cut a pizza with a void.
