[Lua] attempt to perform arithmetic on a string

[Solved!!]

cats = {10,11,12,8,100}
for i,v in ipairs(cats) do
t = "#cats"
print(v/t)
end

how would i fix it? I've been trying various formats and this was my latest one. if you're wondering why cats, im just messing around and learning lua..

Get rid of the quotation marks around #cats.

ty now i just need a simple addition script to finish it…
