Nice, but I noticed two mistakes on page 140.
* "n divides p_k" => "p_k divides n"
* In the paragraph starting with "Why does the iteration", the statement
"If iter is greater than sqrt(n) then we can be sure iter can’t be a
divisor of n" is wrong since iter could equal n (try 6 or 2 as input). The
function still works since you return accum * n.
