Printing python variables to a txt file

Question

Im currently trying to print the variable div to a txt file I've created called "Calculations.txt"

import math
n = int(input("Enter a value for n: "))
k = int(input("Enter a value for k: "))

if k == n:
    print(1)
elif k == 1:
    print(n)
elif k > n:
    print(0)
else:
    a = math.factorial(n)
    b = math.factorial(k)
    c = math.factorial(n-k)
    div = a // (b * c)
    with open("output.txt", "w") as f: 
        f.write(str(div))

How would i write div to the txt file? Also I'm looking for short and sweet code because I'm relatively new to python. Thank you

I cant and i have it indented on my computer thats not ths issue. I currently have to type this on my phone which is the best i can do but I will go over it and manually add spaces — Cyber Guy, Mar 19 '21 at 16:32

Instead of printing, add this to the end of your code:

with open("Calculations.txt", "w") as f:
    f.write(str(div))

I think this should work:

 f = open("Calculations.txt", "w")
 f.write(str(div))
 f.close
