Hi... My name is Jay and I'm new to this forum. And I'm writing my first GAP code; Basically I'm trying to find the number of a times a number "p" can be divided by a prime number "n" such that "p|n" is an integer. The program seems pretty trivial but every time it executes it keeps giving me zero regardless of the input. If somebody can just tell me where i went wrong with my code. Thank you. The code is as folows:
PowerofpDividingn := function(p,n)
local x, count, ans;
count :=0;
for x in [1..p] do
ans := p/n;
if ans in Integers then
count := count + 1;
fi;
p := ans;
od;
return count;
end;
