Depends what division means.If x/y means distributing x into y groups and measuring the size of a group, then x/0 means distributing x into zero groups, in other words doing nothing, so the answer could be zero. If x/y means counting how many times you can subtract y from x, the answer is infinity.
Edit: also, if 50/0 = infinity, infinity * 0 = 50 ... or any other number.

your first casewould result in "undefined". doing nothing isn't the same as having a well-defined answer of zero.
edit: and since infinity isn't actually a number your second point is not true
