It's zero.
1 goes into 0 zero times (because 0 divided by 1 is 0)
Similarly, 2 goes into 100 fifty times because 100/2 is 50.
If you meant "how many times does 0 go into 1?", then that is not a real number. 1/0 is undefined.
Take a look at the graph y = 1/x. It will help to answer your question.

This is a trick question...right? I see two possible answers right away:
1. You meant 0 go into 1 (i.e., 1/0); in which case, the answer is indeterminate. Some will say infinity, but that is not really the case. Infinity is not really a number; its more a philosophy than a number.
2. Zero, if 0/1 is right because zero has nothing that one can fit into. In fact, no matter how many times you try to make 1 go into 0, it will not go.

Unless you're looking for a joke answer the answer is you can't divide zero by another number. Zero is only a place holder indicating none.

0/1 is a logical impossibility

(0/1) = 0
Did you mean 1/0 ? If so, then lets assume (1/c) = 0, then for this to be true there must be some number c that satisfys 0(c) = 1, but no number does.
Here is something else:
If (0/0) = c, then 0(c) = 0.
Now there are many solutions to this so c is not unique.
This is why the inverse axiom for multiplication does not allow divison by zero.

depends what you mean by "goes into" If you mean the mathamitical definition of evenly divides with result greater than 0 then the answer is 0

If you turn the one on it's side, it will go through the zero as many times as you would like. Sort of like an arrow flying through a hoop.
