Python for loop: “list index out of range” error?

Question

I have a code, based on problem 3 from Project Euler: \"The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29. What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143?\"

Answer 1

You probably meant to do:

for j in range(len(res)):
    for k in range(2,res[j]):

Using for j in res will iterate over res elements.
