Preserved Topic: modulo and division--js (Page 1 of 1)

I have a number (i) and I want to divide it by a constant (6).
From this operation I want the 'remainder', which I can get by the equation 'x=i%6'.
I also want the number of WHOLE times that 'i' goes into 6, but I can't figure out an easy way to do this.

ex.
i=13
x=i%6
x=1

i=13
y='number of Whole times...'
y=2

how do I ask for 'y'?

Anybody help??

I guess that was supposed to be
Math.floor(i/6)

Edit: yes, my 'bot is acting up again...
