Divisors shared the second numbers - mircea_dragu - Feb-07-2019
I am a beginer in Python's programming, so i began with easy programming problems.
The goal is to show the divisors shared by the two numbers entered by the user.
I cannot figure out where is my mistake when i try to store in z list the divisors shared by the two numbers.
a = int(input("\n Enter first number a = "))
b = int(input("\n Enter a second number b = "))
x = []
for i in range (1, a+1):
if(a % i == 0):
x.append(i)
print("\n " + str(x))
y = []
for j in range (1, b+1):
if(b % j == 0):
y.append(j)
print("\n " + str(y))
z = []
for m in range (len(x)):
for n in range (len (y)):
if(x[m] == y[n]):
z.append(n)
print("\n " + str(z))

You should iterate over the list, not the indexes of the list, as shown here. Your last loop should use the in operator:
for m in x:
if m in y:
z.append(n)
