Given a natural number n, print all distinct divisors of it.
Examples:
Input : n = 10 Output: 1 2 5 10 Input: n = 100 Output: 1 2 4 5 10 20 25 50 100 Input: n = 125 Output: 1 5 25 125
Note that this problem is different from finding all prime factors.
A Naive Solution would be to iterate all the numbers from 1 to n, checking if that number divides n and printing it. Below is a program for the same:
// C++ implementation of Naive method to print all // divisors #include <iostream> using namespace std;
// function to print the divisors void printDivisors( int n)
{ for ( int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
if (n % i == 0)
cout << " " << i;
} /* Driver program to test above function */ int main()
{ cout << "The divisors of 100 are: \n" ;
printDivisors(100);
return 0;
} // this code is contributed by shivanisinghss2110 |
// C implementation of Naive method to print all // divisors #include<stdio.h> // function to print the divisors void printDivisors( int n)
{ for ( int i=1;i<=n;i++)
if (n%i==0)
printf ( "%d " ,i);
} /* Driver program to test above function */ int main()
{ printf ( "The divisors of 100 are: \n" );
printDivisors(100);
return 0;
} |
// Java implementation of Naive method to print all // divisors class Test
{ // method to print the divisors
static void printDivisors( int n)
{
for ( int i= 1 ;i<=n;i++)
if (n%i== 0 )
System.out.print(i+ " " );
}
// Driver method
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println( "The divisors of 100 are: " );
printDivisors( 100 );;
}
} |

Console.Write( i + " " );
}

Output:
The divisors of 100 are: 1 2 4 5 10 20 25 50 100
Time Complexity : O(n)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
Can we improve the above solution?
If we look carefully, all the divisors are present in pairs. For example if n = 100, then the various pairs of divisors are: (1,100), (2,50), (4,25), (5,20), (10,10)
Using this fact we could speed up our program significantly.
We, however, have to be careful if there are two equal divisors as in the case of (10, 10). In such case, we’d print only one of them.
Below is an implementation for the same:
// A Better (than Naive) Solution to find all divisors #include <iostream> #include <math.h> using namespace std;
// Function to print the divisors void printDivisors( int n)
{ // Note that this loop runs till square root
for ( int i=1; i<= sqrt (n); i++)
{
if (n%i == 0)
{
// If divisors are equal, print only one
if (n/i == i)
cout << " " << i;
else // Otherwise print both
cout << " " << i << " " << n/i;
}
}
} /* Driver program to test above function */ int main()
{ cout << "The divisors of 100 are: \n" ;
printDivisors(100);
return 0;

{
if (n%i == 0)
{
// If divisors are equal, print only one

printf ( "%d " , i);
else // Otherwise print both
printf ( "%d %d " , i, n/i);

Output:

Time Complexity: O(sqrt(n))
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
However there is still a minor problem in the solution, can you guess?
Yes! the output is not in a sorted fashion which we had got using the brute-force technique. Please refer below for an O(sqrt(n)) time solution that prints divisors in sorted order.
