How to compute the divisors of 4810?
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 4810 by each of the numbers from 1 to 4810 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 4810 / 1 = 4810 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 4810)
- 4810 / 2 = 2405 (the remainder is 0, so 2 is a divisor of 4810)
- 4810 / 3 = 1603.3333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 4810)
- ...
- 4810 / 4809 = 1.0002079434394 (the remainder is 1, so 4809 is not a divisor of 4810)
- 4810 / 4810 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 4810 is a divisor of 4810)
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 4810 (i.e. 69.354163537599). 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 )
- 4810 / 1 = 4810 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 4810 are divisors of 4810)
- 4810 / 2 = 2405 (the remainder is 0, so 2 and 2405 are divisors of 4810)
- 4810 / 3 = 1603.3333333333 (the remainder is 1, so 3 is not a divisor of 4810)
- ...
- 4810 / 68 = 70.735294117647 (the remainder is 50, so 68 is not a divisor of 4810)
- 4810 / 69 = 69.710144927536 (the remainder is 49, so 69 is not a divisor of 4810)
