Reusing Numbers with LAST X

You can use to reuse a number (such as a constant) in a calculation. Remember to enter the constant second, just before executing the arithmetic operation, so that the constant is the last number in the X–register, and therefore can be saved and retrieved with .

Example:

96.704 + 52.3947

Calculate

52.3947
