MATHS MAD

[file: Factorise]



There is a great deal of interest in mathematical functions in

computing and W.E. Thomson sent us this routine to factorise numbers

(maths students everywhere take note!).



There is a time delay which depends on the complexity of the number,

the prime 4294967291 will take around 8 minutes to check, most other

numbers far less!



Note the use of the subroutine at 300, it prints all the digits of a

nine or ten character integer unlike the built in PRINT command which

rounds off at 8 digits.
