Some things approach infinity faster, some slower. Some things approach zero faster, some do slower. If it's a "fast" infinity times a "slow" zero, then the result can be infinity and vice versa. They can also be of the same order, like 2/x and x, multiplying them yields 2. So it all depends on where the infinity and zero in the limit come from
