Answer 1

Smiley (Offline) you are not updating the values of self.num and other.num in the loop which is resulting in an infinite loop.

Here's the fix👇

Answer 2

from __future__ import division

__truediv__(self, other)Implements true division. Note that this only works when from __future__ import division is in effect.

Sir but if I change while to if it works perfectly

Answer 4

There is a lot more to be fixed. 3/6 results in reference error.
And if you fix that it will not simplify because it only works for powers of 2
Hint: greatest common divider

Yup I know I was just trying it first with 2
Now it's easy I would now just change 2 with a list of all prime numbers
