What symbol can be used to denote an assignment of a left hand side value to a right hand side variable?

If I am doing a calculation that involves some intermediate value, for example:

$intermediate = \frac{17}{13} = 1.30769230769 \\ answer = intermediate + 10.1345 \\ answer = 1.30769230769 + 10.1345 \\$
what symbol can I use for left to right hand assignment to replace the "ASSIGN TO" so that:

$intermediate = \frac{17}{13} = 1.30769230769$ ASSIGN TO $a_v$
$\\ answer = intermediate + 10.1345 \\ answer = a_v + 10.1345 \\$
which saves having to copy out the $1.30769230769$ again when it may be stored in a variable on a calculator and as such can be used directly from there. $a_v$ is just a made up variable in the context of the working.
