Factors ERROR - AdamJae - Oct-22-2019
def factors(n):
list = []
for x in range(2, n+1):
while n % x == 0:
list.append(x)
n = n//x
if n == 1:
return listI produced some code to give me a list of prime factors of any number. But when I execute the code it produces this:factors(10075)
Out[99]: [5, 5, 13, 31]
It pastes two of the same prime factor, why is this?
Need URGENT help, please!
Thank you all <3
RE: Factors ERROR - buran - Oct-22-2019
because that is what your code is doing
5*5*13*31 = 10075
if you don't want repeating factors - you can use set() to get just unique elements from your list
and don't use
list as variable name - it's a built-in function. you don't want to override it
