The expression in the image is:

\[
\lim_{{x \to 0}} \left( \frac{\sin x}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{1 - \cos x} \right)
\]

To evaluate this limit, let’s break it down into two parts:

1. **The first part:** \(\frac{\sin x}{x}\)
2. **The second part:** \(\frac{1}{1 - \cos x}\)

### Step 1: Evaluate \(\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{\sin x}{x}\)
It is a well-known limit that:
\[
\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1
\]

### Step 2: Evaluate \(\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{1}{1 - \cos x}\)
Using the trigonometric identity \(1 - \cos x = 2 \sin^2 \left( \frac{x}{2} \right)\), we can rewrite this part as:
\[
\frac{1}{1 - \cos x} = \frac{1}{2 \sin^2 \left( \frac{x}{2} \right)}
\]

Therefore:
\[
\lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{1}{1 - \cos x} = \lim_{{x \to 0}} \frac{1}{2 \sin^2 \left( \frac{x}{2} \right)}
\]

Substitute \(u = \frac{x}{2}\), so as \(x \to 0\), \(u \to 0\) as well. This transforms the expression to:
\[
\lim_{{u \to 0}} \frac{1}{2 \sin^2 u} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \lim_{{u \to 0}} \frac{1}{\sin^2 u} 
\]

Since \(\sin u \approx u\) as \(u \to 0\), this further becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{2} \cdot \lim_{{u \to 0}} \frac{1}{u^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \infty = \infty
\]

### Conclusion
Since the second part diverges to infinity, the overall limit does not exist (it diverges to infinity).

The answer is:
\[
\lim_{{x \to 0}} \left( \frac{\sin x}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{1 - \cos x} \right) = \infty
\]
