--Requirements

You will need a TI-83, TI-83 Plus or 100% compatible, and about 1Kbytes of RAM free.

--Purpose

As you know, prime factoring is a real pain in the arse. I wrote this program originally for the TI-83 Plus about January 2000, and this version includes all the optimizations I discovered since then. This program factors numbers for you.

--Instructions

	1. Run prgmBGETPRME

	2. When it asks you for a number to factor, put one in! Keep in mind that you can put in variables and expressions as well.

	3. It will check for divisors, and decrease the number each time it finds one. It will display the numbers as it finds them.

	4. When completed, it will display all factors in a list. You can scroll the list, or press enter to quit and look at the list file FAC.

--History

1.0 8-27-2000
First Public Release.

--Future

I have an active project called ZGETPRME 83 that will introduce a pure ASM version of Prime Factor. It may or may not be completed, because I am focusing on ASM 89, so...
