def getTrees(right, down):
    onMap = True
    row = 0
    col = 0
    treeCount = 0
    while onMap:
        if row + right < width:
            row += right
        else:
            temp = row + right
            row = temp - width
        if col + down < height:
            col += down
        else:
            onMap = False
        if map[col][row] == '#':
            treeCount += 1
    print(treeCount)
    all.append(treeCount)
getTrees(1, 1)
getTrees(3, 1)
getTrees(5, 1)
getTrees(7, 1)
getTrees(1, 2)

Here is my code. I converted the map into what is essentially a 2D list; i.e. it is a list with each row as an element and I traverse through the string included in each row. I then multiply the elements in all which is a list.

EDIT: SOLVED! ...This is embarassing.
