# /=(_:_:)

Divides the first value by the second and stores the quotient in the left-hand-side variable.

## Declaration

```swift
static func /= (lhs: inout UInt16, rhs: UInt16)
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: The value to divide.
- `rhs`: The value to divide lhs by. rhs must not be zero.

## Discussion

Discussion For integer types, any remainder of the division is discarded. var x = 21 x /= 5 // x == 4
