What Are The Factors of 30?

What are the factors of 30? We can answer this question by writing a simple python script to give us the answer. Recall that a Factor in this case is a number that divides another number with no remainder. See our Python code below:

x = 30

print(f"The factors of {x} are:")
for i in range(1, x + 1):
    if x % i == 0:
        print(i)

#The factors of 30 are:
#1
#2
#3
#5
#6
#10
#15
#30

Let’s explain what is happening here:

1. First we declare variable x to which we assign the value of 30.
2. We declare an f-string that will explain the output that we will produce in the next statement.
3. We write a loop that will output only the numbers that will divide by 30 and leave a reminder of 0.

Executing this code will give us the following output:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

We can do another example and find the factors of 25.

x = 25

print(f"The factors of {x} are:")
for i in range(1, x + 1):
    if x % i == 
        print(i)

#The factors of 25 are:
#1
#5
#25

And then we get:

1, 5, 25

Finally we can find the factors of 28:

x = 28

print(f"The factors of {x} are:")
for i in range(1, x + 1):
    if x % i == 0:
        print(i)

#The factors of 28 are:
#1
#2
#4
#7
#14
#28

And then we get:

1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
