12.1.3 Handling of floating-point data types 
[...]
The standard defines special values, NaN, (not a number), +infinity, and –infinity. These values are returned on overflow conditions. A general principle is that operations that have a value in the limit return an appropriate infinity while those that have no limiting value return NaN (see the standard for details).  
[Note: The following examples show the most commonly encountered cases.] 
X rem 0 = NaN
  
0 *  +infinity = 0 * -infinity = NaN
 
(X / 0) = +infinity, if X > 0 
   NaN, if X = 0 
   infinity, if X < 0 
NaN op X = X op NaN = NaN for all operations 
(+infinity) + (+infinity) =  (+infinity) 
X / (+infinity) = 0 
X mod (-infinity) = -X 
(+infinity) - (+infinity) =  NaN 
[...]
3.31 Div
Integral operations throw DivideByZeroException if value2 is zero. 
Floating-point operations never throw an exception (they produce NaNs or infinities instead).
