  @cindex @code{arith-error} in division
  If you divide an integer by 0, an @code{arith-error} error is signaled.
  (@xref{Errors}.)  Floating point division by zero returns either
! infinity or a NaN if your machine supports IEEE floating point;
  otherwise, it signals an @code{arith-error} error.
