Explicit division by zero will generate a warning message:

Wolfram Language code: 1 / 0

Division by zero often occurs indirectly within another calculation:

Wolfram Language code: FindRoot[Sin[x] / x == 1 / 2, {x, 0}]

The root in this example can be computed by choosing a different starting point:

Wolfram Language code: FindRoot[Sin[x] / x == 1 / 2, {x, 1}]
