How to compute the divisors of 9039?
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 9039 by each of the numbers from 1 to 9039 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 9039 / 1 = 9039 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 9039)
- 9039 / 2 = 4519.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 9039)
- 9039 / 3 = 3013 (the remainder is 0, so 3 is a divisor of 9039)
- ...
- 9039 / 9038 = 1.0001106439478 (the remainder is 1, so 9038 is not a divisor of 9039)
- 9039 / 9039 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 9039 is a divisor of 9039)
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 9039 (i.e. 95.073655657075). 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 )
- 9039 / 1 = 9039 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 9039 are divisors of 9039)
- 9039 / 2 = 4519.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 9039)
- 9039 / 3 = 3013 (the remainder is 0, so 3 and 3013 are divisors of 9039)
- ...
- 9039 / 94 = 96.159574468085 (the remainder is 15, so 94 is not a divisor of 9039)
- 9039 / 95 = 95.147368421053 (the remainder is 14, so 95 is not a divisor of 9039)
