Setting Fractional Modes
N ORMAL M ODE
In Normal Mode, the fractional result is
reduced to its lowest common denom-
inator (i.e., 8/16 reduces to 1/2).
F IXED M ODE
In Fixed Mode, fractional results are left
in the defined accuracy level (i.e., 8/16
will be shown as 8/16). Entries of high-
er accuracy values will temporarily
override the fixed fraction setting.
Using Exponential Notation
Your calculator is defaulted to have
exponential notation set to “on.”
Therefore, any integer value exceeding
7 digits will display in exponential for-
mat. When exponential notation is
deactivated, the calculator adjusts
dimensioned values to the next higher
unit when the display limit is exceeded
(known as Auto-Ranging). i.e.,
“10,000,000 mm” exceeds the 7-digit
display, so “10,000 m” is displayed. This
auto-ranging also applies to other
dimensional units, such as inches to
feet, feet to yards, etc.
