How to compute the divisors of 1075?

A number N is said to be divisible by a number M (with M non-zero) if, when we divide N by M, the remainder of the division is zero.

$N mod M = 0$

Brute force algorithm

We could start by using a brute-force method which would involve dividing 1075 by each of the numbers from 1 to 1075 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.

$Remainder = N - (M \times ⌊ \frac{N}{M} ⌋)$

(where $⌊ \frac{N}{M} ⌋$ is the integer part of the quotient)

1075 / 1 = 1075 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 1075)
1075 / 2 = 537.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 1075)
1075 / 3 = 358.33333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 1075)
...
1075 / 1074 = 1.0009310986965 (the remainder is 1, so 1074 is not a divisor of 1075)
1075 / 1075 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 1075 is a divisor of 1075)

Improved algorithm using square-root

However, there is another slightly better approach that reduces the number of iterations by testing only integers less than or equal to the square root of 1075 (i.e. 32.78719262151). Indeed, if a number N has a divisor D greater than its square root, then there is necessarily a smaller divisor d such that:

$D \times d = N$

(thus, if $\frac{N}{D} = d$ , then $\frac{N}{d} = D$ )

1075 / 1 = 1075 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 1075 are divisors of 1075)
1075 / 2 = 537.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 1075)
1075 / 3 = 358.33333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 1075)
...
1075 / 31 = 34.677419354839 (the remainder is 21, so 31 is not a divisor of 1075)
1075 / 32 = 33.59375 (the remainder is 19, so 32 is not a divisor of 1075)
