When a and b are natural numbers we usually say that "b fits q times in a and subtract r". This sentence suggests an obvious but impractical method of finding q and r : count how many times we can reset b to a . For example, to divide a=95 by b=23 we count how many times we can reset 23 to 95 as shown in this table: q r r≥b 0 95 Yes 1 72 Yes 2 49 Yes 3 26 Yes 4 3 No   1. Implement this division algorithm in Python iteratively using a while loop. 2. Write an algorithm that returns the list of all divisor of a positive integer in ascending order.

Question

When a and b are natural numbers we usually say that "b fits q times in a and subtract r". This sentence suggests an obvious but impractical method of finding q and r : count how many times we can reset b to a . For example, to divide a=95 by b=23 we count how many times we can reset 23 to 95 as shown in this table:

q r r≥b
0 95 Yes
1 72 Yes
2 49 Yes
3 26 Yes
4 3 No

 

1. Implement this division algorithm in Python iteratively using a while loop.

2. Write an algorithm that returns the list of all divisor of a positive integer in ascending order.
