Inches are generally divided by 1/4ths, and proceed as follows... 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/32, 1/64. Generally after you reach that degree, mechanics, engineers and such then use 1/100ths, 1/1000ths. etc.
As opposed to the metric system which is in measures of 10, 100, 1000. I never really heard of a quarter of a centimeter before. I hope this is what you were wanting to know.

A unit is a quantity of one of whatever you're referring to. For example, if a car dealership sells 5 units, they sold 5 cars. If a computer company sells 5 units, they sold 5 computers.
The only measurement I know of where the word "unit" has a specific value would be a unit of blood, which is a pint.

A unit is some constant measurement. The inch and the meter are both units of length; gallon and liter are both units of volume; a calorie is a unit of energy, et cetera, et cetera.

An infinite number. To test it take one half and divide by one half (any fraction or decimal for that matter) and keep doing it over and over again, you will never achieve zero!

When something is described as a unit, it is dimensionless.
