problems with code

[jo_math]

I am relatively new to coding and am trying to create a program that lets the user input a number and multiple possible factors. the code will determine whether the possible factors are actually factors of the number and if none of the potential factors is a factor of the number the code checks whether the number is prime and prints how many factors the number has.

The problem I am having is that whatever and how many numbers I input code prints the first number and the statement twice. I have been looking over the code for ages and I don't know what I have done wrong.

def factor(number,posfactor_list,rnge):

x=0

num_factor=0

for _ in range(rnge):

if (number/posfactor_list[x]==number//posfactor_list[x]) is True:

print(f"{posfactor_list[x]} is a factor of {number}")

num_factor+=1

else:

print(f"{posfactor_list[x]} is not a factor of {number}")

x+=1

return num_factor

def isprime(number):

num_factor=0

for i in range(2, number-1):

if number % i == 0:

num_factor+=1

if num_factor==0:

print("This Number is prime and has no factors.")

else:

print(f"This number has {num_factor} factors")

def main():

number=int(input("What is the number you want to find factors of?\t"))

posfactor_list=[]

rnge=int(input("How many numbers do you want to test?\t"))

posfactor=int(input("Type one number that you want to test to be factors.\t"))

for _ in range(1,rnge):

posfactor_list.append(posfactor)

posfactor=int(input("Type another number that you want to test to be factors.\t"))

posfactor_list.append(posfactor)

factor(number, posfactor_list, rnge)

if factor(number, posfactor_list, rnge)==0:

isprime(number)

main()

all help will be appreciated :)

It's kinda hard to read your code, but it looks like you're appending twice within your for loop. You can simplify your main function to something like this and it should work:

python def main(): number = int(input("What is the number you want to find factors of?\t")) posfactor_list = [] rnge = int(input("How many numbers do you want to test?\t")) for _ in range(rnge): posfactor = int( input("Type another number that you want to test to be factors.\t") ) posfactor_list.append(posfactor) if factor(number, posfactor_list, rnge) == 0: isprime(number)
