It seems like a problem with your python code. If you enter 2200 :
 max = raw_input("positive integer: ")  # "2200"
 millions = int(max) # to use for printing result  # 2200
 max = int(max) * 1000000  # not possible on a 32bits platform 
 # as it is greater than sys.maxint
 So please write : max = int(max) * 1000000L
 and choose another name (vmax for instance) which doesn't hide a
 builtin.  And likewise initialize k as  k = 0L
