It depends what the number is:

f the number is not zero you get an error as it cannot be done.

If the number is zero you get any number you want. This is used in calculus as the limit of a division where the dividend and divisor both tend towards zero: the limit is zero divided by zero, but as the numbers tend towards zero the division tends towards a value. For example, if a chord is drawn on a circle as one point moves towards the other, the slope of the cord (as calculated by the gradient between the two end points) tends towards the slope of the tangent at the point which is not moving - when the points coincide you have zero divided by zero and this is the slope of the tangent at the point!
