How to compute the divisors of 3113?

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 3113 by each of the numbers from 1 to 3113 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)

3113 / 1 = 3113 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 3113)
3113 / 2 = 1556.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 3113)
3113 / 3 = 1037.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 3113)
...
3113 / 3112 = 1.0003213367609 (the remainder is 1, so 3112 is not a divisor of 3113)
3113 / 3113 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 3113 is a divisor of 3113)

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 3113 (i.e. 55.794264938253). 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 $\frac{N}{d} = D$ )

3113 / 1 = 3113 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 3113 are divisors of 3113)
3113 / 2 = 1556.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 3113)
3113 / 3 = 1037.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 3113)
...
3113 / 54 = 57.648148148148 (the remainder is 35, so 54 is not a divisor of 3113)
3113 / 55 = 56.6 (the remainder is 33, so 55 is not a divisor of 3113)
