Why 2.8em is divided by 1.2?

I'm new to CSS and I'm trying to learn the concept of font. I saw this code online, I understand by default 1em = 16px but I don't understand why 2.8em is divided by 1.2? What is the reason behind it or is it unnecessary?

h1 { font: 700 2.8em/1.2 "Droid Sans", sans-serif; }

That is the short-hand font syntax for defining both font-size and line-height; specifically a font-size of 2.8em and a line-height of 1.2. You can consult the MDN on the font CSS property for more details.
