Peer reviewedKimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Four computer programs (Applesoft Basic) on prime numbers are described, including programs for factoring a positive integer as a product of primes, listing all divisors of a given A, and for exploring primes representable as prescribed sums/differences involving squares, cubes, Fibonnaci numbers, or other primes. Program listings are included.…

Peer reviewedFischer, Frederic – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Presents three problems, each with a computer solution in BASIC programming language: (1) finding sum equals product for three-digit numbers; (2) finding cases of improper cancellation that give a correct answer; and (3) finding perfect numbers. Some suggestions for further investigation are included. (JN)
