   Instead of generating a number and trying to find whole number divisors,   
   what about generating two numbers whose product is 1000 or less and then   
   presenting that product and one of the numbers you used in the   
   multiplication to the child... the other number is the answer. Something   
   like this should work...   
      
   FirstNumber = 1 + Int(50 * Rnd)   
   MaxForSecondNumber = Int(1000 / FirstNumber)   
   SecondNumber = 1 + Int(MaxForSecondNumber * Rnd)   
   Product = FirstNumber * SecondNumber   
      
   Of course, this doesn't address the "hardness" value of the division.
