Yeah he wants speed.

Haha, yes! I shall use that with ALL of my basic programs!
I made a program that finds all of the factors of numbers. If you enter a really big number, it takes over a minute to tell you that the last factor is 1...
You want speed? Get rid of the Lbl/Goto... Replace with While variable]=1 and End statements. You can change [variable]'s values to work like a goto/lbl system. 
Since you are not using 0->[i]var in the engine, just Delvar, you shouldn't see anything drastic in speed loss of loading.
Change your If K to:
If K=105:Return
A-(2(K=25))-(2(K=34))->N (If the char goes opposite ways, merely swap 34 and 25)
B-(2(K=24))-(2(K=26))->O
That should speed you up a lil...

Foamy: I Assume that the extra lines are for clarity while composing, correct? If not, they are extraneous.
@Birdman: lol

To TI-Freak8x: Thanks, that makes sense. I'll go try that out and post some results.
Kerm: By extra lines, do you mean

If so, then the :'s are just from extra spacing or deleting stuff. Do those slow down my program, too?

I don't think so, since they are merely blank lines. BASIC is slow because it takes the command token, and has to "translate" the commands. If there is nothing to translate, then it shouldn't slow you down at all...
I would really like to know what kind of speed increase/decrease you got out of my suggestion...

Extra lines will slow your program down, but they're nice when you're programming. Use then when you're writing the game, then delete them in the release.
Wow, I took Ti-Freak8x's suggestions and also deleted the blank lines. It really significantly sped up the program. Thanks, guys!

You should be able to make a prime-factorization much faster through creative use of log( and a binary search strategy.
if you want every factor though, brute forcing is the way.

i've made both a prime factor and just factor search programs, neither were all that slow. Biggest speed improvement comes when bruteforcing to first take the square root of the number the user enters, and set that as its largest factor value.
