def h(n):
    s = 0
    for i in range(1,n+1):
        if n%i > 0:
           s = s+1
    return(s)

Answer 1

Hello. Answer is 7.

Also I want to give you some explanations what the function does. The function gets some argument n. Let's set n is 5 for example. Then the function creates a sequence of numbers from 1 to n with range(1, n+1) function (result will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in our case) and iterates over each of this numbers. If remainder of dividing n to the number from the sequence greater then 0, variable s increments by 1. For our sequence we gets remainders 0, 1, 2, 1, 0 and variable s equal to 3. When the iteration complete, function returns s value.

So, if n is 41, the function returns 39 and when n is 40 the function returns 32. 39 - 32 = 7
