How to Find Factors of a Number in C: A Step-by-Step Guide

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

    // Prompt the user to enter a number

    printf("Enter a number: \n");

    int a, b, c = 0;

    // Read the input number from the user

    scanf("%d", &a);

    // Display message for the search of factors

    printf("Searching for factors: \n");

    // Loop to find factors of the entered number

    for (b = 2; a > b; b++)

    {

        // Check if the number 'a' is divisible by 'b' (where b starts from 2)

        if (a % b == 0 && a != b)

        {

            // If divisible, print the factor

            printf("%d \n", b);

            c++; // Increment the count of factors found

        }

    }

    // Check if factors are found or not

    if (c > 0)

    {

        // If factors are found, display the count

        printf(" \n \n%d factors found \n", c);

    }

    else

    {

        // If no factors are found, display a message

        printf(" \n \nNo factors found \n");

    }

    scanf("%d", &c); // Pause the program before exiting (optional)

    return 0;
