Hi,
I need to create a calculator that returns 2 numbers, but must be to an exact 2 decimal places.
For example, we have a figure of 1,759.06 and need to know what the closest divisible number with 2 decimal points is that returns a result less than 104.45.

X*Y = 1759.06
X needs to be less than 12, 24 or 36.
Y needs to be less than 104.45 and exact to 2 decimal places.
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Perhaps try
Excel Formula:
=LET(
_XY,1759.06*10000,
_X,36*100,
_Y,104.45*100,
_A,FILTER(SEQUENCE(_X),MOD(_XY,SEQUENCE(_X))=0),
_B,FILTER(_A,(_A<_X)*(_XY/_A<_Y)),
"X:"&TEXT(_B/100,"0.00")&"  Y:"&TEXT(_XY/_B/100,"0.00"))

Thank you So

_B,FILTER(_A,(_A<_X)*(_XY/_A<_Y)),
"X:"&TEXT(_B/100,"0.00")&"  Y:"&TEXT(_XY/_B/100,"0.00"))
Thank you so much. I need X to be a whole number. I have tried to set it up in my excel where 1759.06 and 36 are cell links so that we can input this information and then the calculation is done. 36 could be any number between 1-36. so if the whole number X is multiplied by Y you get the exact 1759.06 or whatever is in this cell.

=LET(_XY,C4*10000,_X,C5*100,_Y,C6*100,_A,FILTER(SEQUENCE(_X),MOD(_XY,SEQUENCE(_X))=0),_B,FILTER(_A,(_A<_X)*(_XY/_A<_Y)),"X:"&TEXT(_B/100,"0.00")&"Y:"&TEXT(_XY/_B/100,"0.00"))

There isn't a solution where X is a whole number and Y is a 2 decimal number less than 104.45. It's just mathematically impossible. The closest in terms of decimal places is X = 20 and Y = 87.953
