I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "divisors the range 
has"? Perhaps you should show an example, and give the answer you 
expect.



This function is troublesome:

What's b? It is never used.

Every time through the loop, you start the count at zero again.

This function will always return y, the stopping value.
