I had an email from B. this morning. He is helping his granddaughter with her Maths and things have changed a bit since he was at school! (I can relate to that too). He said:
“Can the factors of a number (360) be found by using a casio calculator fx -85GTX? Ans: 1, 360, 2, 180, 3, 120 etc”
The answer is yes.
Tip for clever clogs… if you “end” your table with the square root of the number (in this case, √360), you won’t get any repeats, and you can be confident you have found all possible factors!
