Cant get answers in decimal format, I would like to set up my casio fx83es so that the answer is in decimal format all the time.

Hi,

to save time, I would suggest switching calculators and also recommend using an online scientific calculator to reach your goal. If the manual for your device is bad, you can look into getting a new calculator. Thank you.

Clear the calculator.
Press [SHIFT][9] (CLR) or [SHIFT][MODE] (Setup) 8:Norm and choose Norm1 or Norm 2. Select the number of digits.

Percentage Calculations

1÷1700 expressed as a decimal is 0.000588235, which is 5.882...×10^-4. [NB not 10^4]

To convert this to a percent, remember that "per cent" means "per 100" which also means "divide by 100". To keep the answer correct, if you are dividing by 100 you must also multiply by 100.

The get the answer in percent, you must therefore multiply the previous answer by 100 to get 0.00588235 percent. (or 5.882...×10^-2 percent).

Hi,

you should try the S=D button right above the DEL button.

Did you set your calculator's format in to a fraction? If you did, change the calculator's format in to decimal.

Hello,
To convert fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions, you use the [S<->D] key. Each time you press the key the result is displayed in the other format.
Alternatively, If you multiply or divide two integer numbers put a decimal mark at the end of one of the numbers (any one). The result will be displayed in decimal format.

Hope it helps.

There is a button there that says "S<=>D". Compute it first and when the result is in fraction, press this and it will be in decimals. This button is just above the DEL button.
