anti-factorial program help

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

I am trying to create an anti-factorial type program, however i am having some problems when it comes to ending the statement; I keep recieving an error regarding the = sign


PLEASE NOTE: i made this in about 5 minutes so i know its terrible coding and such

any help would be appreciated

%%%anit-factorial program%%%
var amount : real
get amount
cls
var  divisor: int := 1
loop
    put amount div divisor
    divisor := divisor + 1
    exit when (amount div divisor) rem not = 0
end loop




P.S. i am using turing 4.1.1

If it helps, you actual syntax error begins at rem

rem is a binary operator. That means it takes two operands, much like + and -.

Compare amount and divisor with rem instead.
