A Calculator Maze

In this maze, the object is to start with the number "1" in the upper left and corner, and move the number to produce any number in the lower right hand corner. To move the number, simply click on the box that you would like the number to move to. As the number moves, certain arithmetic operations are performed on the number as indicated in the maze. Since this is only a 3 by 3 square, this would be trivial if not for the following 2 restrictions:

No 180 degree turns are allowed. That is, if one moves right, one cannot immediately move left.
The result of the operation must be a positive integer. No fractions are allowed.

There are actually two ways to finish the maze (resulting in two possible numbers in the final location.
For an extra challenge, try to find both solutions.
