The TI-84 is limited to numbers with at most twelve significant digits.If you must know the EXACT value of 16!, try this. Calculate 14!. Note the two zeroes at the end. Strip them off by dividing by 100 and remember the two zeroes. Multiply by 15. Strip off the last zero by dividing by 10 and remember that we've now stripped off three zeroes. Multiply by 16. Add the three zeroes at the end to get a fourteen-digit number.In this particular case the result is exactly what you get by using the FACT function. That's also true for 17!, but it breaks down past that because 18! has more than twelve significant digits.The whole point of the calculator is to allow you to do calculations with a reasonable degree of accuracy, as opposed to exactly. You'll notice that it can't do a simple operation like dividing 1 by 3 and produce an EXACT answer---only a twelve-digit approximation.

Contrary to what you may be thinking, parentheses are necessary to ensure that calculations are performed as intended. If you were using stacked fractions that may lift some ambiguities, but since you are not using parentheses anything goes.Here is one interpretation of the expression.

There should be a WINDOW button or key when looking at the graph. Hit that button and the screen should show the x min, x max, x scale, etc. From here you can change the x-min and x-max to whatever you would like. Same is true for the y values. Default is -10 for x and y min and 10 for x and y max with both having a scale of 1.
