function pfactor()

[Rita & Klaus Kuhnlein <rikla wynndel ca>]

Hi,

I use gnumeric version 1.9.3 for Windows.

I try to calculate all primfactors of a given number:

A1: the given number
B1: =pfactor(A1)
A2: =A1/B1
B2: is copy of formula in cell B1
A3: is copy of formula in cell A2
and so on copied down to A20:B20

It works quite good and I get the prim factors listed in column B
except for one number: 12,345,678,901,234. There I get a #LIMIT! error  
from B4 on.
=pfactor(12,079,920,647) creates the error.
The number 123,456,789,012,345, which is one digit longer than  
12,345,678,901,234, works perfectly.

Is that a bug?

Regards
Klaus
