How to compute the divisors of 2211?
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 2211 by each of the numbers from 1 to 2211 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 2211 / 1 = 2211 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 2211)
- 2211 / 2 = 1105.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 2211)
- 2211 / 3 = 737 (the remainder is 0, so 3 is a divisor of 2211)
- ...
- 2211 / 2210 = 1.0004524886878 (the remainder is 1, so 2210 is not a divisor of 2211)
- 2211 / 2211 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 2211 is a divisor of 2211)
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 2211 (i.e. 47.021271782035). 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 )
- 2211 / 1 = 2211 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 2211 are divisors of 2211)
- 2211 / 2 = 1105.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 2211)
- 2211 / 3 = 737 (the remainder is 0, so 3 and 737 are divisors of 2211)
- ...
- 2211 / 46 = 48.065217391304 (the remainder is 3, so 46 is not a divisor of 2211)
- 2211 / 47 = 47.042553191489 (the remainder is 2, so 47 is not a divisor of 2211)
