Need a hint with problem

theroflchopper

Ok I'm having a error with my program. Which finds and displays all positive factors of an input integer. I either get it listing 1 factor num times or an error that I can't divide by zero but I don't know why.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 # User input

num = int(raw_input("Determine the factors of what number ? "))
 
# Display factors in one line

print "The factors are:",
 
# Variable set

test = 1
 
# Calcualte factors

for test in range(num):

    if num%test == 0:

        print num,
 
# Print a blank space

print

I don't want a solution I just want a hint to what i'm doing wrong.

range(num) starts from 0. if u specify range(5) its value would be [0,1,2,3,4].
modify the range args to get your desired output, and you need not really set the variable test in your case. the other error is that you are printing the num that you want to find the factors for and not the factors themself.
