There are many errors in this small code snippet, I will just point out a
few:
(a) there is no need to use x:xs anywhere in the program, as nowhere you are
splitting/combining the list.
(b) you are trying to divide a number by a list, which is even harder than
comparing apples and oranges.
(c) your are taking the conjunction of two definitions
