My last version, still without division due to an unanswered question
def uniques_col(operators, max):
col = 0
if len(operators) > 1:
for op in operators:

return col
if operators == '+':
for i in range(1,max):

# comment next lines if you don't want detail
for j in range(1,max-i+1):
print(i,operators,j,i+j)
elif operators == '-':
for i in range(1,max+1):

elif operators == 'x':

# comment next lines if you don't want detail
for j in range(1,1+int(max/i)):
print(i,operators,j,i*j)

while True:
