8 8 hold)  All significant digits; trailing zeros dropped. Four decimal places, no exponent. Reciprocal of 58.5. Shows full precision until you release  Fractions The HP 35s allows you to enter and operate on fractions, displaying them as either decimals or fractions. The HP 35s displays fractions in the form a b/c, where a is an integer and both b and c are counting numbers. In addition, b is such that 0≤b
