Line 15 has a syntax error, why is that??

Question

The aim of this code is to identify the factors of the inputed number.

factors = []
x = input()
a = 0
while True :
a = a + 1
if x % a == 0 :
factors.append(a)
#x = x / a
continue
if a == x ** (1/2) :
break
reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, factors) = b
x / b = c
factors.append(c)
print ("The factors of the number is "factors".")

Answer 1

you should backscape the " around the word factor or use ' for the whole text
print ("The factors of the number is \"factors\".")
print ('The factors of the number is "factors".')

Answer 2

You can assign the result of an expression to a variable and not vice versa:
b= reduce(...) and not reduce(...) = b

Answer 3

line 6 looks OK, maybe there's something wrong with the values

Answer 4

Thank, that seemed to solve it but now the Line with lambda seem to be acting up. Got any thoughts??

And if you could explain it yhay would be great. Actaully i stolen it after searching for A way to multiply the integrera of a list. Eve wrote this but never explained it. Would you mind??

Answer 5

Thank you. That tip worked wonders. I also get a syntax error on line 6 with the equal sign. Do you see anything that is wrong with that??
