# Division remainder in JavaScript

There is a special operator `%` that can be used to compute the remainder of dividing one number by another:

`alert(10 % 3); // shows 1`

If one number is evenly divisible by the second, the remainder will be zero:

`alert(10 % 2); // shows 0`

Of course, the operator `%` can be applied not only to numbers, but also to variables:

`let a = 10; let b = 3; alert(a % b); // shows 1`

Find the remainder after dividing the following variables:

`let a = 13; let b = 5;`
