Apparently the kata is now retired.

Yep, it's fixed now

"X and Y are both integers that are positive. Z is a positive integer that is less than 20."
X, Y, and Z aren't present in the code. Did you mean num1, num2, and factors?

I already have, go ahead and look.

In that case, you should directly state that it won't be in the test cases.

It simply states that it does not exist in the test cases. If you want, i can change it to something else, but it won't do much.

"(5, 5, 2) This does not exist, num1 and num2 are different integers."
In this case, num1 == num2. You should change it to "This does not exist, num1 and num2 should be different integers" or something similar.

lol, the very definition of a patch

I'm actually dying out of laughter, this is the best code lmao

fixed, thx

hmm. I see. If i remove that, it says Max buffer size reached. Very nice code.

ah, so that's how you do it. I was close, kind of. Thanks!

I want to be able to use the lower of those two numbers to run the operation because it will then require fewer recursive calls.

Why do you need to sort though? a,b = sorted(a,b). so then, a=b and b=a?

oh ok. I made a fork showing my understanding. (Made before i saw what you typed here.)
