    What did I do wrong? I could look up proper solution to this exercise but I would still like to know what exactly is off. I feel like its something super obvious and stupid.

    • general advice: divide your code into multiple functions (e.g. instead of arbitrarily using '0' to end a loop, put the loop in its own function with a descriptive name and return when appropriate) and check if those functions produce the expected output

      also, post your code as a Markdown code block, not a screenshot

          I figured it out! I just needed to use break.

          num = []
          Ms = []
          def Fmmin(va):
              while va == 0:
                  for n in range(2, number):
                      if number % n == 0:
                          va = n
                          break
                      if n == number - 1 and number - 1 % n != 0:
                          va = '0'
              return va
          def Fmmax(va):
              while va == 0:
                  for n in range(number-1, 1, -1):
                      if number % n == 0:
                          va = n
                          break
                      if n == 2 and number % n != 0:
                          va = '0'
              return va
          
          for f in range(1,10000000):
              number = 452021 + f
              mmin = 0
              mmax = 0
              mmin = Fmmin(mmin)
              mmax = Fmmax(mmax)
              if int(mmax) > 0 and int(mmin) > 0:
                  M = mmax + mmin
                  if M % 7 == 3:
                      num.append(number)
                      Ms.append(M)
              if len(num) >= 5:
                  break
          print(Ms)
          print(num)

              Fixed it now!

              def Fmmin():
                  for n in range(2, number):
                      if number % n == 0:
                          return n
                      if n == number - 1 and number - 1 % n != 0:
                          return 0
              def Fmmax():
                  for n in range(number-1, 1, -1):
                      if number % n == 0:
                          return n
                      if n == 2 and number % n != 0:
                          return 0
