Division by zero is "undefined". In other words, the answer is neither.

Ah, there, on a new computer that would not let me post link unless I typed my Jiska name in :)
suppose that there is a number x such that
0/0 = x
Now, clearing the denominator, we have
0 = 0*x
but that is true for any x, so 0/0 is undefined.
