Breaking a number into prime factors

The calculator can break a whole number into its prime factors. Type 1014 and press equals: 1014. Press shift and the degrees key: FACT is the yellow label above it. The answer is 2×3×132\displaystyle 2\times3\times13^{2}. With a larger number: type 4104676 and press equals: 4104676. Press shift and the degrees key: 22×(1026169)\displaystyle 2^{2}\times(1026169). A part in parentheses is one the calculator could not break down further. That is the end of Part 3. In Part 4, we look at the calculator's memory.
