The following shows the range for each of the coefficients (a, b, c, d, e, f).

1 <a < 100, 1 < b < 1000, 1 <c < 100 0 <d < 100, 0 <e < 1000, 1 <f < 100

Example:

2'3 4 = 8'3

'form

35'2 3 = 148.492424

decimal form

(= 105'2)

 

 

 

150'2

 

= 8.485281374

 

25

 

2 (3 – 2'5 ) = 6 – 4'5

'form

23 (5 – 2'3 ) = 35.32566285

decimal form

(= 115 – 46'3 )

 

 

 

10'2 + 15 3'3 = 45'3 + 10'2

'form

15 (10'2 + 3'3 ) = 290.0743207

decimal form

(= 45'3 + 150'2 )

 

 

 

'2 + '3 + '8 = '3 + 3'2

'form

'2 + '3 + '6 = 5.595754113

decimal form

The underlined areas in the above examples indicate what caused decimal form to be used.

Reasons why the results of the examples are displayed in decimal form

-Value outside of the allowable range

-More than two terms in the calculation result

Calculation results displayed in 'form are reduced to a common denominator.

a'b

+ d'e

a'b + d'e

 

c

f

 

c

cis the least common multiple of c and f.

Since calculation results are reduced to a common denominator, they are displayed in ' form even if coefficients (a, c, and d) are outside the corresponding ranges of coefficients (a, c, and d).

Example:

'3

+

'2

=

10'3 + 11'2

11

10

110

The result is displayed in decimal form even when any intermediate result has three or more terms.

Example: (1 + '2 + '3 )(1 – '2 – '3 )(= –4 – 2'6 )

=–8.898979486
