#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int a;
    int b;
    int sum;
    b = 0;
    sum = 1;
    
    cout<<"Enter integer, a:";
	cin>>a;
    
    for(b=2;b<=a;b++)
    {
        if (a % b ==0 )
        { sum+=b; }
    }
    cout<< "Sum of all factors of a equals= "<< sum <<endl;
    return 0;
}

I am trying to write a code that will add up all divisors of any number, i have created this code but am stuck on how to make it work for 0 and negative numbers, not sure where to add to the code.

you could put this in.

   if(a!=0) {
       if(a<0) {
         a=-a;
         sum--;
       }
       // your for loop
   } else {
     sum = 0;  
   }
   // print stuff out

also, in your for loop you only have to go to

ceil(sqrt(a))

.
