The title says it all:
Do
\frac{1}{N} = and \frac{1000}{N} have limit of zero as N tends to infinity?

No, the title does not say it all! the limit as N goes to infinity, of 1/N, is NOT the same as "1/infinity"! The latter simply makes no sense. You cannot do arithmetic with "infinity" in the real number system.
The answer to your question is "yes", however, those limits are both 0.
