dividing by zero does not work. The function "divide" is not defined for zero. It's like asking "what happens when you add three to a sausage".
You get a combo meal.

In case it wasn't obvious, I do know that dividing by zero is a mathematical impossibility. I do not know, however, how this dwarven calculator would react if anyone attempted the impossible. Please, someone try! xD

If you look back in the thread, some people did try, and they got 8008135, which is significant only in that the digits resemble the letter in "BOOBIES".

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!
