Arrrgg Decimal Points!!

No, decimal points are the established way in all the world. A comma is a pause, not a point.

2 points over 100---3 points over 1000--points are to the right of decimal point

On the calculator's keyboard there a Key ENG just press two times for two decimal place

Press SETUP 0 0 then the number of places desired. See page 8 of the manual at http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeOffice/Calculators/Manuals/cal_man_EL738.pdf

You can configure it as you wish. Press [SHIFT][MODE] to access the (SETUP) configuration screen, then select [8:Norm].


You will be prompted to choose Norm1 or Norm2. To help you find out which is more appropriate to meet your concerns, I am inserting a screen capture from the manual.

Hello,
Use the FIX key
Press [FIX] n , where n is the number of digits, n between 0 and 9
Hope it helps.

Hello,

Sorry to disappoint you but you cannot do it due to the fact that the representation of irrational (SQRT(2), ..) and transcendental (e, pi, etc.) numbers on a calculator or even a computer is approximative : a number like sqrt(2) has an infinite number of decimal digits while the number of internal digits a calculator uses to store results is limited (10, 12, 15 or even 24).
Once an irrational or a transcendental number has been evaluated numerically it generally ceases to be exact.

If you want to manipulate algebraic expressions, you need a calculator that has a CAS (computer algebra system) operating system and a symbolic algebra option.

Some exemples of calculators with a CAS are The TI nspire CAS, the HP 48 series, HP 49, HP 50, Casio ClassPad3xx, the TI 89titatium, the TI Voyager 200PLT, the TI 92 and Ti 92Plus. The ones with a fullblown keyboard might not be accepted on certain standardized test.

You may also try to get some emulators on the Internet for the HPs or the TI 8xx and play with them on the computer.

Hope that helps.

press black/orange button, press =(DISP) button and enter 0-9 for digits to be displayed after decimal point.

2ND then Format then choose number of decimals then enter

move switch for decimal places to "add",or to number "2" for 2 fixed decimal places
