How to compute the divisors of 9125?

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 9125 by each of the numbers from 1 to 9125 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)

9125 / 1 = 9125 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 9125)
9125 / 2 = 4562.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 9125)
9125 / 3 = 3041.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 9125)
...
9125 / 9124 = 1.0001096010522 (the remainder is 1, so 9124 is not a divisor of 9125)
9125 / 9125 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 9125 is a divisor of 9125)

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 9125 (i.e. 95.524865872714). 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 $\frac{N}{d} = D$ )

9125 / 1 = 9125 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 9125 are divisors of 9125)
9125 / 2 = 4562.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 9125)
9125 / 3 = 3041.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 9125)
...
9125 / 94 = 97.074468085106 (the remainder is 7, so 94 is not a divisor of 9125)
9125 / 95 = 96.052631578947 (the remainder is 5, so 95 is not a divisor of 9125)
