Not sure if I am doing either step correctly. How do you compare a value then assign it to a constant? Do you set up the comparison first, then assign it, or can you assign it if it pass the true false test?
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5
// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value / divisor %
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

You have everything correct, except for the mathematical part to get the remainder. To find the remainder, you use the Modulo operator (%), but you are using the division (/) symbol (but have the % at the end?)
So this line,
let result = value / divisor %
Just needs to be corrected to assign the remainder to the variable result like so
let result = value % divisor
Hope that helps. (The rest of your code is correct 
Keep Coding!

You got it mostly right. Your remainder syntax is incorrect. Try this:
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5
// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor //result equals zero because no remainder is present.
//For example: If it was 201 % 5, result would be equal to the remainder of 1.
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0
See the Remainder Operator section of the Apple Operator Docs
I hope this helps.

Thanks - that makes sense.
