Hi
I'm a student studying ADA for the first time and need help to produce an
algorithm to complete a basic program exercise I am stuck with.
The program asks the user to input a large number (integer) and then
input two further numbers as factors of the first; the program then checks the
two numbers to see if they are indeed factors and outputs 'true' or 'false'
accordingly.
I cannot figure an algorithm to do this and am left with an idea that:-
large number/factor number=integer would work, checking that the factor divides
without remainder i.e. .0.8 etc. This does not work, telling me not to assign
value to 'integer'
I hope there is a simple solution I have'nt seen and would be greatfull if
someone could point me that way :-) I would be very interested to know, also,
if there is an online source listing various algorithms of a similar
nature/maths level.
Regards and thanx
Sean
