--Requirements

You will need a TI-89 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 working with that calculator. This program factors numbers for you.

--Instructions

	1. Run bgetprme()

	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 will be unable to scroll the list, but all you have to do is look at the list file FAC.

--History

1.0 8-27-2000
First Public Release.

--Future

I have been a z80 (83(+) ASM) assembly programmer for a while, and I have just learned 68k assembly for the 89/92(+). Expect to see a far more powerful ASM version of Prime Factor for both calculators.
