Is it possible to calculate factors using a TI-30x IIS
I believe factors can be calculated on any basic calculator.
Starting with 1, increasing by 1 until you get to square root (number) + 1
Let's do an example.
28
square root (28)+1 = 6
Factors
1, 28/1=28
2, 28/2=14 14*2 - 28 = 0 (when you divide, you get no decimal)
3, 28/3=9.33333 - not a factor - doesn't go in evenly
4, 28/4 =7
5, 28/5=5.6 - not a factor - doesn't go in evenly
6, 28/6=4.66666 - not a factor
So now we can list our factors - 1, 28, 2, 14, 4, 7
Putting them in order, we get 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28.
Good luck,
Paul
