general advice: divide your code into multiple functions (e.g. instead of arbitrarily using '0' to end a loop, put the loop in its own function with a descriptive name and return when appropriate) and check if those functions produce the expected output

also, post your code as a Markdown code block, not a screenshot

As a code block.

I.e:

```
Your code
goes here
```

Your code

I figured it out! I just needed to use break.

num = []
Ms = []
def Fmmin(va):
    while va == 0:
        for n in range(2, number):
            if number % n == 0:
                va = n
                break
            if n == number - 1 and number - 1 % n != 0:
                va = '0'
    return va
def Fmmax(va):
    while va == 0:
        for n in range(number-1, 1, -1):
            if number % n == 0:
                va = n
                break
            if n == 2 and number % n != 0:
                va = '0'
    return va

for f in range(1,10000000):
    number = 452021 + f
    mmin = 0
    mmax = 0
    mmin = Fmmin(mmin)
    mmax = Fmmax(mmax)
    if int(mmax) > 0 and int(mmin) > 0:
        M = mmax + mmin
        if M % 7 == 3:
            num.append(number)
            Ms.append(M)
    if len(num) >= 5:
        break
print(Ms)
print(num)

You can improve the code by returning n and 0 respectively, no need to use a loop variable. The while va == 0 is either unnecessary (if it runs once) or can cause an endless loop (since nothing changes between iterations)

Fixed it now!

def Fmmin():
    for n in range(2, number):
        if number % n == 0:
            return n
        if n == number - 1 and number - 1 % n != 0:
            return 0
def Fmmax():
    for n in range(number-1, 1, -1):
        if number % n == 0:
            return n
        if n == 2 and number % n != 0:
            return 0

one more piece of advice: try to avoid global variables when possible (in this case, you could pass number as an argument instead)
