Arithmetic in Bases 2, 8, and 16
You can perform arithmetic operations using (

base. The only function keys that are actually deactivated outside of Decimal

. However, you should realize
that most operations other than arithmetic will not produce meaningful results
since the fractional parts of numbers are truncated.
