If a decimal # has a value less than 1 do you put a zero to the left of the decimal point?

Since you are using a decimal-based number, it is all in powers of ten. The first number to the left of the decimal point is the "1's" column, the next is the 10's, the next the 100's and so on in powers of ten. To move right of the decimal is to divide each value by a power of 10. So the first digit right of the decimal is the 10ths value, the next is the 100ths value, the next the 1000ths value and so on. To estimate (round) a number to the nearest 10th, you only need to look at the digit to the right of the 10ths digit. Here the 10ths digit is a value of 6. The digit to its right is a value of 2. In order to round up that digit would need to be 5 or greater. Thus the answer here is 6 tenths.

There is no problem, see captured image below:

Press SHIFT MODE 6 then select the desired number of digits after the decimal point. Alternatively, press SHIFT MODE 7 then select the desired number of significant digits.

None of these solutions answer his question. When converting a fraction or any number with decimal places to Binary, the TI-89 gives "Error: Domain error." For example, entering .6875 [2ND][MATH][BASE][BIN] does not work. I haven't found a way to do it with built in functions. In order to do these types of conversions, I use the following method.

Convert: 0.6875 to Binary
- left of decimal is a 0, so write down a 0, then a decimal point: (0.)
- multiply .6875 x 2 = 1.375 left of decimal is 1, write a 1: (0.1)
- drop the 1 and multiply .375 x 2 = .75 left of decimal is 0. write a 0: (0.10)
- multiply .75 x 2 = 1.5 left of decimal is 1, write a 1: (0.101)

- drop the 1, multiple .5 x 2 = 1. left of decimal is 1, write a 1: (0.1011).
- since there is no more fraction, the final answer is (0.1011). Hope this helps.

Let me give you a general recipe to familiarize yourself with any calculator, if you are averse to reading the manuals.
Most function will work in one of two ways.
1st way
Enter the number, then press the key,; the result is displayed.immediately.

Second way
Press the function key ( a left parenthesis may be displayed) enter the number (close the right parenthesis if there was a left one) press the = or EXE or ENTER keys.

Try the two ways described above to calculate the following values. The answers are given. Here log is he decimal logarithm and ln is the natural logarithm.


log(1)=0
ln(1)=0
ln(2)=0.693147181
log(2)=0.301029996
ln(100)=4.605170186

log(10)=1 (= number of zeros after the 1)
log(100)=2. (= number of zeros after the 1)
log(1000)=3 (number of zeros after the 1)
log(10000)=4 (number of zeros after the 1)

2.4507E-4 is scientific notation for 2.4507 times ten to the minus 4, or .00024507.

Take the 2.4507 and move the decimal point, to the left if the exponent is negative, to the right if it is positive, the specified number of positions.

If the magnitude of the result is too small or too large, the calculator will automatically switch to scientific notation. Imagine a number that has more than 12 digits to the left of the decimal point. How is that going to fit onto the display? Or a number that is 0 followed by the decimal point followed by 12 0s and then some significant digits?

Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s. Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number. Step 3. Then write down just the top number, putting the decimal place in the correct spot (one space from the right for every zero in the bottom number) Example 1: Express 3/4 as a Decimal Step 1: We can mulitply 4 by 25 to become 100
Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 25:
×25 3 = 75

4 100 ×25 Step 3: Write down 75 with the decimal place 2 spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros);
Answer = 0.75

Example 2: Express 3/16 as a Decimal Step 1: We have to mulitply 16 by 625 to become 10,000
Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 625:
×625 3 = 1,875

16 10,000 ×625 Step 3: Write down 1875 with the decimal place 4 spaces from the right (because 10,000 has 4 zeros);
Answer = 0.1875

Example 2: Express 1/3 as a Decimal Step 1: There is no way to multiply 3 to become 10 or 100 or any power of 10, but we can calculate an approximate decimal by choosing to multiply by, say, 333
Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 333:
×333 1 = 333

3 999 ×333 Step 3: Now, 999 is nearly 1,000, so let us write down 333 with the decimal place 3 spaces from the right (because 1,000 has 3 zeros):
Answer = 0.333 (accurate to only 3 decimal places !

VX8500 does not have an ESN. The VX8500 has an MEID. The MEID is a 14 digit hexadecimal value with the following format:
The decimal representation is calculated as follows:

a). Separate the 14 digit hexadecimal MEID into two parts:
Part 1 – the first 8 digits representing the manufacturer code (digits RRXXXXXX in
the figure).
Part 2 – the last 6 digits representing the serial number. (digits ZZZZZZ in the figure).

b). Convert the hexadecimal value of each part into the decimal equivalent:
Part 1 – 10 decimal digits zero filled.
Part 2 – 8 decimal digits zero filled.
If the decimal equivalent of each part is less than the number of required digits, right align
and zero fill to create the required length.

c). Concatenate Part 1 and Part 2 to create an 18 digit decimal number.

Example:
Hex MEID = AF 01 23 45 0A BC DE
Part 1, manufacturer code is 0xAF012345 = 2936087365
Part 2, serial number is 0x0ABCDE = 00703710
Therefore, the decimal representation of the MEID is 29360 87365 0070 3710

The function is called ROUND. It has 2 arguments, (1) the original number and (2) the number of decimal digits. Here is the Excel's help: ROUND(number,num_digits) The number you want to round. • None. num_digits The number of digits to which you want to round number. • If num_digits is greater than 0 (zero), then number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places. • If num_digits is 0, then number is rounded to the nearest integer. • If num_digits is less than 0, then number is rounded to the left of the decimal point.
So for your case use this in a cell "=ROUND(12350*32.75%, 0)" without quotes, where I assume one or both numbers will come from other cells. -Ken

I think the problem is with the programming, instead of putting in a value as a percent, put it in as a decimal, going on with your example, 100-.1= .9>% =90
