Confused...?

[Linuxmade88]

I am new to coding and am barely in my first week in college learning javascript and im not all that great at math at all so can some one help me understand this and let me know if I did this right?

question is

• Find the remainder when 15 is divided by 9, using two variables x and y.

var x=15;
undefined
var y=9;
undefined
x/y
1.6666666666666667

i'm doing this in the console on firefox, what im confused about is the question is asing to find the remainder and im pretty sure thats definitely not the remainder but i just dont know how to go foreward or even what to do.

perhaps you should use % instead of / ?
