my bag is: Adding twice the same elements to the total

for exemple:

for divider in 3, 5:
        basis=divider
        while basis < 1000:
                mod = basis % divider
                if mod == 0:
                        total = total + basis

if "basis" is 15, then "mod" == 0 twice - when the "divider" is 3 and 15

my new version of script:

total = 0
div1 = 3
div2 = 5
for basis in range(0, 1000):
        mod = basis % div1
        if mod == 0:
                total = total + basis
                continue
        mod = basis % div2
        if mod == 0:
                total = total + basis
                continue



print("total = ", total)
