	While factoring, you often have to find two values
which add to a certain number and multiply to get a certain
number. Factoring this way usually starts in grade 9.

Ex: Add to get 7, multiply to get 12 : Answer= 4 and 3

Example Program Run:
----------------
Sean Weeks(2000)

 add TO Get:7
Mult TO Get:12

4    and 3

----------------

The program trifact automatically finds these two numbers for
you to save you time and from having to do all the mental math!
It's only 238 bytes!

Here are examples of questions you can use it in:

 Form: x^2+ax+b

   Ex: x^2+11x+24     --- Type in add:11 and multiply:24
       (x+8)(x+3)     --- the program says 8 and 3

 Form: ax^2+bx+c

   Ex: 3x^2-10x+8     --- Type in add:-10 and multiply:3*8
       3x^2-6x-4x+8   --- the program says -4 and -6
       3x(x-2)-4(x-2) -- Find greatest common factors
       (x-2)(3x-4)    -- Group


I hope you find this program useful! Feel free to pass it on!

Note: If you put in large number like 800, it could take
      up to a minute to calculate the numbers. You can
      press [ON]-[ENTER] any time to abort.
