The definition of the ratio a/b is
a/b = r iff b*r = a
for the case of n/0 there is no r such that r*0 = n (follows from the
definition of zero. Therefore n/0 (for non zero n) *does not exist*.
On the other hand, for 0/0, every r qualifies since for every r, r*0 =
0 (the definition of zero, again). Therefore, 0/0 is truly undefined,
in the sense that it is impossible to *uniquely* assign a value to the
ratio r.

It depends on how you get there, [sin(x)]/x is certainly defined for all
values of x including 0 and infinity.
If you knew any maths worth talking about, you would have known that
sin(0) / 0 is not the same as the limit of sin(x) / x as x tends to 0.
The first is undefined and the second is unity.
Now it is your turn: What do you know about sin (infinity) / infinity
?
