An integer is a whole number. So all you need to do is plug in the values of x and y and evaluate. If the answer is not a whole number, then move on. If so, then x/y is an integer.


For instance, when x=10 and y=4, then which is NOT an integer.


On the other hand, when x=6 and y=3, then which is an integer.
