Finding the Factors of a Number
00:01 Surprise! This lesson is not a lesson. It’s a challenge. Your challenge is to find the factors of a number. A factor is a positive number that can divide another number perfectly without any remainder. So for example, say you have 10.
00:16 5 is a factor of 10 because it divides perfectly. If you do 10 divided by 5, you get 2 without any remainder. 5 is a factor of 10. So is 2, because if you divide 10 by 2, you get 5 with no remainder.
00:32 So the challenge is for an input of any positive whole number—an integer—list all the factors of that number.

This was a suprise challenge indeed.
Is the goal to solve this with just the knowledge from this course and its contents ? I might be missing some Python knowledge to make this happen.
The sample code attached to this course is also belonging to another course: Real Python: Functions and Loops course by Philipp Acsany
