Estimating Calculation Results If you perform a calculation that results in an overflow error, you can estimate the correct result (to 10 significant digits) by fol- lowing these steps. 1. Count the number of digits displayed to the left of the deci- mal point. 2. Remove the decimal point. 3. Add as many zeros to the right of the number as there were digits to the left of the decimal point. For example, if E 251.0142064 appears, the approximate answer is 2,510,142,064,000. If E 17319.70347 ap

CALCULATION EXAMPLES You can perform basic calculations (addition, subtraction, and so on) with this calculator as you would with most other calcula- tors. The following sections include examples of more ad- vanced calculations. Mixed Calculations Example: 256 + 378 – 223 · 2.3 ÷ 2.5 + 24 – 36 = You Press: You See: 256 + 378 = 634. – 223 = 411. ···· 2.3 = 945.3 ÷ 2.5 = 378.12 + 24 = 402.12 – 36 = 366.12 7
