Solution Exercise 7: Python algorithm that returns the divisors list of a given number

Exercise7 || Solution

Write a Python algorithm that returns the list of divisors of a given integer. Example if n = 18, the algorithm returns the list [1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18]

Solution

def listDiv (n):
    # initialization of the divisors list of n
    l = []
    # iterate over integers 1, 2, 3, ..., n
    for i in range (1, n + 1):
        # if i is a divisor of n we add it to the list
        if n% i == 0:
            l.append (i)
    return l

# Example
n = 18
print ("the divisors list of n is:", listDiv (n))
# The output is: the divisors list of n is: [1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18]
