In most programming languages, when a number is divided by zero, an arithmetic exception is raised. To handle this exception, one can use a try-catch block in their code.

For example, in Java:

try {
    int result = numerator / denominator;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
    // Handle the exception here
}

In this code snippet, the division operation numerator / denominator may result in an arithmetic exception being thrown. The catch block then catches this exception and allows the programmer to handle it appropriately.

Other programming languages may have different syntax for handling exceptions.
