If you are no longer married to the person through whom you got your permanent resident, you have to be a permanent resident for 5 years before being eligible to file for naturalization.

A person can file for naturalization at 4 years and 9 months from the date their green card was issued.

If you have been a permanent resident for the last ten years and you have no criminal history, you should be eligible to apply for naturalization.

If you are eligible for naturalization in every other respects, you can file for naturalization notwithstanding your divorce. I will caution however that if you obtained your green card on the basis of the marriage that you have now dissolved, you should discuss this with an experienced immigration attorney so that you can creditably dispel the notion that the marriage was entered into for immigration purposes
