Spec says so:

  4) The dyadic arithmetic operators <plus sign>, <minus sign>,
     <asterisk>, and <solidus> (+, -, *, and /, respectively) specify
     addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, respectively.
     If the value of a divisor is zero, then an exception condition is
     raised: data exception -- division by zero.
