How to compute the divisors of 4411?
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 4411 by each of the numbers from 1 to 4411 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 4411 / 1 = 4411 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 4411)
- 4411 / 2 = 2205.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 4411)
- 4411 / 3 = 1470.3333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 4411)
- ...
- 4411 / 4410 = 1.0002267573696 (the remainder is 1, so 4410 is not a divisor of 4411)
- 4411 / 4411 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 4411 is a divisor of 4411)
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 4411 (i.e. 66.415359669281). 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 )
- 4411 / 1 = 4411 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 4411 are divisors of 4411)
- 4411 / 2 = 2205.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 4411)
- 4411 / 3 = 1470.3333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 4411)
- ...
- 4411 / 65 = 67.861538461538 (the remainder is 56, so 65 is not a divisor of 4411)
- 4411 / 66 = 66.833333333333 (the remainder is 55, so 66 is not a divisor of 4411)
