Another teacher shared with me something I hadn't thought of and am wondering what you all think...

Let x and y represent the factors of a given number, so that xy=n. Therefore, y=n/x. Put that into the calculator and the table will give the factors. Example xy=42, y = 42/x. Look at the table and it will give the factors of 42.

I like the way it reinforces transforming equations, but is it too much of a short cut?

mtinnj Doesn't seem like much of short cut. However, your function is missing one small detail for your table, which maybe you meant to be obvious. Domain={x| 1
