How do you Find the Factors of a Number in a while Loop in Python?

In the program given below, we used the while loop to find the factors of a given number. This approach differs when compared to the for loop. Initially, we initialize the variable ‘a’ as 1 before starting the loop. We iterate the while loop till a <a+1. Now we check if the current value is a divisor of z or not. If yes, we print the number and increment the value of ‘a’. If not, we skip the number and continue with the next number.

Copy Code

                    
def factors(z): 
a = 1 

while(i < z+1): 

if z % a == 0: 

print(a) 

a = a + 1 

numb = int(input("Enter any numb : ")) 

print("The factors for {} are : ".format(numb)) 

factors(numb)

Output:

Enter any numb : 20
