How to compute the divisors of 9150?
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 9150 by each of the numbers from 1 to 9150 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 9150 / 1 = 9150 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 9150)
- 9150 / 2 = 4575 (the remainder is 0, so 2 is a divisor of 9150)
- 9150 / 3 = 3050 (the remainder is 0, so 3 is a divisor of 9150)
- ...
- 9150 / 9149 = 1.000109301563 (the remainder is 1, so 9149 is not a divisor of 9150)
- 9150 / 9150 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 9150 is a divisor of 9150)
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 9150 (i.e. 95.655632348545). 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 )
- 9150 / 1 = 9150 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 9150 are divisors of 9150)
- 9150 / 2 = 4575 (the remainder is 0, so 2 and 4575 are divisors of 9150)
- 9150 / 3 = 3050 (the remainder is 0, so 3 and 3050 are divisors of 9150)
- ...
- 9150 / 94 = 97.340425531915 (the remainder is 32, so 94 is not a divisor of 9150)
- 9150 / 95 = 96.315789473684 (the remainder is 30, so 95 is not a divisor of 9150)
