HP 49G running 1.19-6 & 2.10-7 correctly factor 17^17+2, as does 40GS -
however 50G misses the factor 2243 using 2.10-7.

Any ideas as to cause?

My 50g running ROM 2.09 gets 7^2*2243*7526729524839697, which matches
what I get with PARI/GP.

Interesting how it works with ROM 2.10-7 on the 49G but not the 50g.

I'm also using 2.10-7 and my 50g factors it just fine. hmmmm

There are no differences whatsoever between the HP50 and the HP49
firmware... So either you don't have the same flag settings, or you
don't run the same program/version

What is the program used to compute the result?
