Transforming Displayed

Values

You can use the procedures in this section to transform a displayed value to engineering notation, or to transform between standard form and decimal form.

k Using Engineering Notation

A simple key operation transforms a displayed value to engineering notation.

Appendix

<#035> Transform the value 1,234 to engineering notation, shifting the decimal point to the right.

<#036> Transform the value 123 to engineering notation, shifting the decimal point to the left.

kUsing S-D Transformation

You can use S-D transformation to transform a value between its decimal (D) form and its standard (S) form (fraction, π).

Formats Supported for S-D Transformation

S-D transformation can be used to transform a displayed decimal calculation result to one of the forms described below. Performing S-D transformation again converts back to the original decimal value.

Note

•When you transform from decimal form to standard form, the calculator automatically decides the standard form to use. You cannot specify the standard form.

Fraction: The current fraction display format setting determines whether the result is an improper fraction or mixed

fraction.

π: The following are the π forms that are supported. This is true only in the case of Math format.

nπ (n is an integer.)

dπ a b π (depending on fraction display format c or c setting)

•Transformation to a fractional π form is limited to inverse trigonometric function results and values that are normally expressed in radians.

•After obtaining a calculation result in 'form, you can convert it to decimal form by pressing the f key. When the original calculation result is in decimal form, it cannot be converted to ' form.
