Proper divisors

The proper divisors of a positive integer N are those numbers, other than N itself, that divide N without remainder, and always include 1.

For example the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3. The proper divisors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50.

Task

Create a routine to generate all the proper divisors of a number.
use it to show the proper divisors of the numbers 1 to 10 inclusive.
Find a number in the range 1 to 20,000 with the most proper divisors. Show the number and just the count of how many proper divisors it has.

Show all output here.

Translation of: Python

Currently the lambda of the filter allocates a closure on the GC-managed heap. <lang d>void main() /*@safe*/ {

   import std.stdio, std.algorithm, std.range, std.typecons;

   immutable properDivs = (in uint n) pure nothrow @safe /*@nogc*/ =>
       iota(1, (n + 1) / 2 + 1).filter!(x => n % x == 0);

   iota(1, 11).map!properDivs.writeln;
   iota(1, 20_001).map!(n => tuple(properDivs(n).count, n)).reduce!max.writeln;

}</lang>

Output:

[[1], [1], [1], [1, 2], [1], [1, 2, 3], [1], [1, 2, 4], [1, 3], [1, 2, 5]]
Tuple!(uint, int)(79, 18480)

Java

Works with: Java version 1.5+

<lang java5>import java.util.Collections; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.List;

public class Proper{

   public static List<Integer> properDivs(int n){
       List<Integer> divs = new LinkedList<Integer>();
       divs.add(1);
       for(int x = 2; x < n; x++){
           if(n % x == 0) divs.add(x);
       }
       
       Collections.sort(divs);
       
       return divs;
   }
   
   public static void main(String[] args){
       for(int x = 1; x <= 10; x++){
           System.out.println(x + ": " + properDivs(x));
       }
       
       int x = 0, count = 0;
       for(int n = 1; n <= 20000; n++){
           if(properDivs(n).size() > count){
               x = n;
               count = properDivs(n).size();
           }
       }
       System.out.println(x + ": " + count);
   }

}</lang>

Output:

1: [1]
2: [1]
3: [1]
4: [1, 2]
5: [1]
6: [1, 2, 3]
7: [1]
8: [1, 2, 4]
9: [1, 3]
10: [1, 2, 5]
15120: 79

A very literal interpretation <lang python>>>> def proper_divs2(n): ... return {x for x in range(1, (n + 1) // 2 + 1) if n % x == 0} ... >>> [proper_divs2(n) for n in range(1, 11)] [{1}, {1}, {1}, {1, 2}, {1}, {1, 2, 3}, {1}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 5}] >>> >>> n, length = max(((n, len(proper_divs2(n))) for n in range(1, 20001)), key=lambda pd: pd[1]) >>> n 15120 >>> length 79 >>> </lang>

Python: From prime factors

I found a reference on how to generate factors from all the prime factors and the number of times each prime factor goes into N - its multiplicity.

For example, given N having prime factors P(i) with associated multiplicity M(i}) then the factors are given by:

for m[0] in range(M(0) + 1):
    for m[1] in range(M[1] + 1):
        ...
                for m[i - 1] in range(M[i - 1] + 1):
                    mult = 1
                    for j in range(i):
                        mult *= P[j] ** m[j]
                    yield mult

This version is over an order of magnitude faster for generating the proper divisors of the first 20,000 integers; at the expense of simplicity. <lang python>from math import sqrt from functools import lru_cache, reduce from collections import Counter from itertools import product

MUL = int.__mul__

def prime_factors(n):

   'Map prime factors to their multiplicity for n'
   d = _divs(n)
   d = [] if d == [n] else (d[:-1] if d[-1] == d else d)
   pf = Counter(d)
   return dict(pf)

@lru_cache(maxsize=None) def _divs(n):

   'Memoized recursive function returning prime factors of n as a list'
   for i in range(2, int(sqrt(n)+1)):
       d, m  = divmod(n, i)
       if not m:
           return [i] + _divs(d)
   return [n]

def proper_divs(n):

   Return the set of proper divisors of n.
   pf = prime_factors(n)
   pfactors, occurrences = pf.keys(), pf.values()
   multiplicities = product(*(range(oc + 1) for oc in occurrences))
   divs = {reduce(MUL, (pf**m for pf, m in zip(pfactors, multis)), 1)
           for multis in multiplicities}
   try:
       divs.remove(n)
   except KeyError:
       pass
   return divs or {1}

if __name__ == '__main__':

   rangemax = 20000
   
   print([proper_divs(n) for n in range(1, 11)])
   print(*max(((n, len(proper_divs(n))) for n in range(1, 20001)), key=lambda pd: pd[1]))</lang>

Output:

[{1}, {1}, {1}, {1, 2}, {1}, {1, 2, 3}, {1}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 5}]
