Estimating Calculation Results

If you perform a calculation that results in
an overflow error, you can estimate the cor-
rect result (to 8 significant digits) by follow-
ing these steps.

1. Count the number of digits displayed

to the left of the decimal point.

2. Remove the decimal point.

3. Add as many zeros to the right of the

number as there were digits to the left
of the decimal point.

For example, the displayed value

ERROR

1.0142064

is estimated to equal

101,420,640.
