Question

So, I'm trying to make a factor machine, which I have all the code expect I don't know how to find the factor.

So you could pick 6, 1, 2, 3, 6.

Here's what I think the code could be.

int x = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Factor", "yes");
int a;

for (int i = 0; i < x; i++;) {
if (x % 2 == x ) {
a = x;
lstData.Items.Add("Factors: " + a);
}
}

Answer 1

If I understood you correctly, your loop should've been like this instead;

for (int i = 2; i < x; i++)
{
if (x % i == 0)
{
lstData.Items.Add("Factors: " + i);
}
}

Explanation:
I initialized i with 2 in the for loop because we know a number divided by 1 leaves no remainder, thus we can skip 1 altogether, and dividing by zero is totally prohibited, modulo internally do division and returns the remainder of the division operation (cmiiw).

Hth, cmiiw
