Numbers in Scientific Notation
In addition to supporting the basic arithmetic functions of addition, subtrac-
tion, multiplication, and division, the Calculator supports handling numbers
in scientific notation. To enter very large (or very small) numbers, use
scientific notation. Type the mantissa (the decimal part of a logarithm),
then E, then the power of 10. For example, to calculate the equation 3.2
X
10"

1: Type:
3.2Ell
2:
Click on the division key:
+
3: Type: 2.1E-5

The correct answer, 1.5238E+16, is displayed in the calculation window.
Note that the maximum exponent that may
be
displayed or used in
a
calculation is
