How to compute the divisors of 1339?
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.
Brute force algorithm
We could start by using a brute-force method which would involve dividing 1339 by each of the numbers from 1 to 1339 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 1339 / 1 = 1339 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 1339)
- 1339 / 2 = 669.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 1339)
- 1339 / 3 = 446.33333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 1339)
- ...
- 1339 / 1338 = 1.0007473841555 (the remainder is 1, so 1338 is not a divisor of 1339)
- 1339 / 1339 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 1339 is a divisor of 1339)
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 1339 (i.e. 36.592348927064). Indeed, if a number N has a divisor D greater than its square root, then there is necessarily a smaller divisor d such that:
(thus, if , then )
- 1339 / 1 = 1339 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 1339 are divisors of 1339)
- 1339 / 2 = 669.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 1339)
- 1339 / 3 = 446.33333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 1339)
- ...
- 1339 / 35 = 38.257142857143 (the remainder is 9, so 35 is not a divisor of 1339)
- 1339 / 36 = 37.194444444444 (the remainder is 7, so 36 is not a divisor of 1339)
