I am assuming 28/0. The short answer is that it is infinity. (Or they may want undefined)

Here is a bit longer explination:
Let's start by taking 28/1, that gives 28. What about 28/0.5 that gives 56, and as we keep decreasing the denominator closer to zero then the quotient will become larger and larger. We we reach zero, the quotient becomes so large that it is considered infinity.
