RE: Mini-challenge: MAX(factors of 2 or 5)
The 34S might be able to do this faster: extract the exponent from the real which is the number of factors of ten present after the decimal position is adjusted for. Log10 of the mantissa should give the number of digits to adjust. Finally, take out the factors of 2 or 5 that remain.
