divisor(n)

Calculate the distinct divisors of a number not just the prime factors.

You are now following this Submission

divisor(n) : row vector of all distinct divisors of a positive integer N, including 1 and N.

Remark:
This function uses the default factor() routine in Matlab and hence is limited to input values up to 2^32. However if factor() routine does get updated for larger integers, this function will still work fine. Alternately you may comment out the statement that compares the values to 2^32, the factor() routine will work just fine (except maybe it will be bit slower for big numbers).
Using factor() provides a significant speed improvement over manually searching for the each divisor of n.

Example:
a = divisor(12);
returns -> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12];
