Typing the variable for the lesson and attempting to divide the numerical value by 4 and the output is "TypeError".

I've tried the help function in Console and cannot find a solution. Please help!

While typing in the value for the variable "favorite_number" I included " ' ' " which is what sent back the error. I watched the video again and seen the flaw in my code the second time then tried the correct way of writing it which gave me the correct output without a "TypeError".
