It is indeterminate. There are many other inderterminate forms. It is not at all the same as 3/3 for example. You can see this with limits and some calculus rules. You must apply the L'Hospital theorem by deriving the numerator and the denominator of the equation that gave you infinity over infinity.
-----------------
Why ∞/∞ is not 1
One could think that ∞/∞ = 1, but this is wrong.
The answer depends on the kind of infinity: in fact, there are different kinds of infinity.
For example, consider f(x) = x2 and g(x) = x. In the limit x→∞ of the function f(x)/g(x), we have
limx→∞ f(x)/g(x) = limx→∞ x2/x = limx→∞ x = ∞;
so, both f(x) and g(x), in that limit, equal infinity, but f(x)/g(x) ≠ 1. If we have f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x, both f(x) and g(x) equal infinity (for x→∞), but
limx→∞ f(x)/g(x) = limx→∞ 2x/x = limx→∞ 2 = 2 ≠ 1.
So you see that infinity is something to check everytime!

Addition: Since infinity is not a set number, you cannot assume that infinity divided by infinity would equal one. Infinity is an indeterminate number.

To touch on this whatever you take and divide by the same number will always give you one.

Infinity divided by infinity is not equal to 1, But it is undefined, not another infinity. This would help you:
First, I am going to define this axiom (assumption) that infinity divided by infinity is equal to one:
