You mean, like:
def foo(x) :
    p = x
    for i in range(2, 10) :
        print "%d * %d = %d" % (p, i, p*i)
        p = p * i
    for i in range(2, 10) :
        print "%d / %d = %d" % (p, i, p/i)
        p = p / i

But why would you want to do this?  What does this have to do with
economics?  And why do you specifically want a for loop?
