# --description--

We can also divide one number by another.

JavaScript uses the `/` symbol for division.

**Example**

```js
myVar = 16 / 2; // assigned 8
```

# --instructions--

Change the `0` so that the `quotient` is equal to `2`.

# --hints--

The variable `quotient` should be equal to 2.

```js
assert(quotient === 2);
```

You should use the `/` operator.

```js
assert(/\d+\s*\/\s*\d+/.test(code));
```

# --seed--

## --after-user-code--

```js
(function(z){return 'quotient = '+z;})(quotient);
```

## --seed-contents--

```js
var quotient = 66 / 0;
```

# --solutions--

```js
var quotient = 66 / 33;
```
