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.

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.
