Hi,

MR is Memory Recall
MC is Memory Clear
M+ is Memory add
M- is Memory subtract

These are used to add and subtract the answers to multi-step equations so you can do the small steps with the calculator, then store, change or recall the total as needed. You might add a long string of numbers in groups this way. Or you can do all operations in one parenthesis, then just store the total of each.

A good problem to illustrate this would be : (123 x 3) + (55 - 24) + (10^2) - (7 x 8) = ???
Using MR, M+ and M-, you can do each one as a group, and only store the answers. 123 x 3 = 369 so M+ to put 369 in memory. Clear it from the calculator. 55 - 24 = 31, so M+ to put this in memory and add to the 369 already there. Clear it from the calculator. 10^2 = 100, so M+ this to memory also to add it. Clear it from the calculator. 7 x 8 = 56 so M- this to SUBTRACT it from memory. Clear it from the calculator if desired. Now, when you then hit MR, you will get the total of all of these small equations in parenthesis -- 444.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Hello,

M- subtracts the displayed number from the total in memory.
M+ adds the displayed number to the total allreday in memory.
For the other two, I can only guess: MC Clears memory, MR recalls from memory. But that should not be difficult to verify on your calculator.

Hope it helps.

Those are the "Memory" function keys.

[MC] = "Memory Clear"
[MR] = "Memory Recall"
[M+] = "Add to Memory"
[M-] = "Subtract from Memory"

This is used when you want to store a set of numbers or a total, temporarily, while you do another calculation.

Try this:

1 + 2 = [M+] ( you just placed a "3" into Memory)

Now enter this:
4 + 4 = (you have "8" on the display)

Now press these three keys: - [MR] =
Your display shows "5"

What you did was to take "8" and subract "3" that you stored in Memory. That equals 5.

Go through this again and it works!

SOURCE: Hi, are there MC, MR, M-, M+ functions in Texas

The calculator has 10 memories (0 to 9)
To store a number (13) in memory 6 type 13 [STO] 6
To erase the content of memory 6 (M6) store 0 in int: 0 [STO] 6
To recall the content of memory location M7 press [RCL]7

To operate on the content of memory location M5 the syntax is [STO] [Op] 5, where [Op] is the operation symbol [+], [-],[x], [/] [y^x]

Ex: to raise the content of memory location 4 to the power of the displayed value, you press [STO][Y^x] 4

To clear all 10 memory locations
press [2nd][MEM][2nd][CLR WORK]

In short, although you do not have the keys you are accustomed to, you have a lot more. And please do not blame me if you feel disappointed.

How do the memory keys work?

Memory keys normally work by adding and subtracting values to them. It looks like you have two memories available, memory I and memory II. (M- I M- II M+ I M+ II) You recall these values with the MR(C) keys to use them in other calculations. Finally, you can clear the memory using the MC keys. Sometimes there is not a MC key. In this case, the easiest way to clear the memory is to recall the memory, multiply it by -1, and add it to the memory. This should set it back to zero.

As an example, if we enter 5 M+ I, 10 M+ I, and then hit MR-I, we should get the answer of 15. If we then enter 13 M- I, and hit MR-I, we should now get an answer of 2. Now if we hit MC - I and then MR - I, we should get the answer of 0.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck,

Paul

How to take off mem cleared

About hearing your question it sounds like you are having problems with memory(the letter M) that is always appears on the screen of your TI-15 Explorer Calculator. So, for you to cancel it you have to press "MR/MC" button twice then finally hit the "clear" button.

hope you get it right...

What does MR, MC,MS & M+ means in a calculator

My best guess would be this ::

MR = Memory Recall

MC = Memory Clear

MS = Memory Store (Store this number in Memory)

M+ = Add this number to the number in Memory
