Write a script that calculates the common factors between 8 and 24. To find a common factor, you can use the modulo operator (%) to check whether a number can be evenly divided into both numbers.

Explanation:

The solution is written in Python 3.

Firstly create a common list to hold a list of the common factor between 8 and 24 (Line 1).

Create two variables num1, and num2 and set 8 and 24 as their values, respectively (Line 3 - 4).

Create a for loop to traverse through the number from 1 to 8 and use modulus operator to check if num1 and num2 are divisible by current i value. If so the remainder of both num1%i and num2%i  will be zero and the if block will run to append the current i value to common list (Line 6-8).

After the loop, print the common list and we shall get [1, 2, 4, 8]
