## Description

We can also divide one number by another.
JavaScript uses the <code>/</code> symbol for division.

<strong>Example</strong>

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

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Change the <code>0</code> so that the <code>quotient</code> is equal to <code>2</code>.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Make the variable <code>quotient</code> equal to 2.
    testString: assert(quotient === 2, 'Make the variable <code>quotient</code> equal to 2.');
  - text: Use the <code>/</code> operator
    testString: assert(/\d+\s*\/\s*\d+/.test(code), 'Use the <code>/</code> operator');

```
