Basic Calculations

(COMP)

This section explains how to perform arithmetic, fraction, percent, and sexagesimal calculations.

All calculations in this section are performed in the COMP Mode (N1).

k Arithmetic Calculations

Use the +, -, *, and /keys to perform arithmetic calculations. Example: 7 ⋅ 8 – 4 ⋅ 5 = 36

LINE

7*8-4*5=

•The calculator automatically judges the calculation priority sequence. For more information, see “Calculation Priority Sequence”.

Number of Decimal Places and Number of Significant Digits

You can specify a fixed number of decimal places and significant digits for the calculation result.

Example: 1 ⎟ 6 =

LINE

Initial default setting (Norm1)

FIX

3 decimal places (Fix3)

SCI

3 significant digits (Sci3)

• For more information, see “Specifying the Number of Display Digits”.

Omitting a Final Closed Parenthesis

You can omit any closed parenthesis ( ) ) immediately preceding operation of the =key at the end of a calculation.

This is true only in the case of Linear format.
