    Q2: Given the following code segment which is intended to print the number of integers that evenly divide the integer input_val. (You may assume that input_val > 0.)
    🔗
    count = 0
input_val = int(input())
for k in range(1, input_val):
    if ___:
        count += 1;
print(count)
    Which of the following can be used to replace ___ so that the code will work as intended?

    • input_val % k == 0
      🔗
    • k % input_val == 0
      🔗
    • input_val % k != 0
