You need to use the remainder (%) operator to determine what, if any remainder there is when "value" is divided by "divisor." You've done this correctly.

However, your syntax is incorrect for let isPerfectMultiple. You're assigning a boolean value to this constant using a comparison operator, which should be "==" for "equal to." Right now you're using a single "=", which is actually the assignment operator in Swift. Don't think of "=" as "equals." This is what's confusing you, likely. It should be "result == 0"
